The image shows a close-up view of a vibrant yellow flower with a focus on its central components. In the center, a small green pistil is surrounded by numerous yellow stamens coated with pollen. Two small ants are visible navigating the flower's interior—one on the green pistil and one on the stamens. The background is a soft blur of yellow petals, creating a smooth, warm texture that contrasts with the detailed reproductive structures of the flower.

Macro photograph of silvery air bubbles forming in brown water at the base of a small waterfall in a stream. The use of a macro lens and the rapid movement of the water create areas of blur and focus, resulting in an abstract impression.

Photographie macro de bulles d'air argentées se formant au pied d'une petite chute d'eau brune dans un ruisseau. L'utilisation de la lentille macro et le mouvement rapide de l'eau créént des zones floues et nettes, pour une impression abstracte.

This photo reportage is genuine, created in a real Homo sapiens brain, and produced without any AI rubbish: an #expedition to a distant #planet where strong evidence of life had been found: the planet Elder 0815, part of the famous Mosslich-system. https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/d242349d-fa59-4af8-a834-c93d580a4039

Macro surprise

#FotoVorschlag 'Verrückte Natur' #monochrome #blackandwhite #macro #macrophotography #insects #grasshopper #photography

Macro photograph in black and white of the face of a grasshopper, looking a little surprise to have its picture taken. The insect seems to have crooked eyes with long antennas between them, and an open "mouth" with mandibles on each side. What looks like a mouth is in fact the junction between two of its face parts, the real mouth being below the mandibles. The rest of its body and six legs are blurred behind.

A macro photograph of the convolutions of a green kale with blue highlights, looking more like algae or lichen than a vegetable.
Not everybody loves kale, I know.

A river flows through a flat and green valley. On the horizon stretches a mountain whose meadows and stones are bathed in an orange light by the setting sun.

A dark forest overgrown with ivy is populated by fireflies flying around. The fireflies are visible as yellow blurred dots and contrast beautifully with the bluish forest.

Macro shot of three small mushrooms (one large and two small) growing on green moss. The group of mushrooms is illuminated from the side with yellow light, creating a beautiful contrast with the green moss.

Black and white macro photograph of a delicate dead wild carrot flower, with some flower structure still visible but containing in its centre a ball of all its seeds, as if held in a small cage formed by the outer peduncles which have curved inward.

Small gems to be found in a frozen cedar I

#monochrome #blackandwhite #macro #macrophotography #icetodon #trees #photography

Black and white macro photograph of ice on the surface of cedar leaf scales. The leaf resembles an insect with two open wings, and the ice forms a kind of shiny and translucent cape spread on its back.

Photographie macro en noir et blanc de glace sur la surface des écailles d'une feuille de cèdre. La feuille ressemble à un insecte avec deux ailes ouvertes, et la glace forme une sorte de cape brillante et translucide sur son dos.
