The joy about being a photographer is being able to capture life in a single image. Our eyes skim very briefly on facets of life but sometimes we fail to notice the intricacies that make the wonders of this world so remarkable. Simple things like looking at a bee settle onto a flower or looking at the rainbow spectrum in an insects eye, or even taking just a closer look at the human eye: the window to the soul. We walk around, not taking a moment to just enjoy this little bits of life.
Here we have collected a number of macro shots that hope to inspire and remind us of the little things that can just make you feel in awe. Have a great weekend ahead :-)

My biggest regret is having only two monitors to display some of these. Beautiful shots, interesting that so many macro shots focus on the eyes of various insects.

Nice images!!! Photography can really work wonders and these extraordinary photos prove it.. these are simply fascinating and awe inspiring.. the kind of work done with the most simple things is striking.. I like the idea of macro shots emphasizing the little things.. I especially like “the keep straight, dandelion clock against light, grass drops” and all the bugs.. Great work :-)
