- nard3456, on 12/01/2009, -0/+4Just like your brain.
- PowderedToasty, on 12/01/2009, -0/+2Pretentious.
- Greg2k, on 12/01/2009, -0/+2What's stunning is that all pictures were on one page and with a pretty elaborate piece to go with each one.
- Lunarparcel, on 12/01/2009, -0/+1The thing about a lot of portrait photography is that it often seems overly posed. Same with these ones. Th subjects just don't look very comfortable in front of the camera, and some of their smiles look forced. One of them even has a look her eyes like she wants to kill the cameraman. It must have been very uncomfortable on set for that shoot, I can tell you.
- Robozilla, on 12/01/2009, -0/+1That one that looks like a monster polar bear is terrifying.
- nard3456, on 12/01/2009, -0/+1that last one looks like a microscopic penguin.

- CurlyMike139125, on 11/30/2009, -0/+1These are actually really well done. Great idea.

- oldhabit, on 12/01/2009, -0/+1Reminds me of Ernst Haeckel's artwork that he did of a variety of sea life - such great detail and beauty.
- theOster, on 12/01/2009, -0/+1maybe you missed the Wampa

- nard3456, on 12/01/2009, -0/+1You can tell because you've seen a lot of microbes in your day.
- ChileanGoD, on 12/01/2009, -0/+1The last one looks like a ghost penguin.
- decx, on 12/01/2009, -0/+1i see your wampa and raise some kind of weird bacteria-pic if found somewhere
http://imgur.com/LAuaf.jpg - gutistg, on 12/01/2009, -1/+1I actually mentioned that image in my above post. :)
The organism pictured is a rotifer. Read the captions on the images. They're pretty interesting. - gutistg, on 12/01/2009, -1/+1It could just be that I've seen much better microscopic photography (check out National Geographic's best of) and am unimpressed by these lackluster examples, but more likely it's because I've actually operated a microscope and have seen many images similar to these on pre-prepared slides.
Taking the rotifer image as an example: I focused a much clearer, more detailed image of a different species of live rotifer (the memory of its taxonomy escapes me) on a wet-mount slide I prepared just a few months ago.
Take an introductory biology class. I expect you'll be very impressed. - Gazow, on 11/30/2009, -6/+0Except, he sucks a basic photography skills? im not going to deny that microscopic organisims are cool- but if your going to present something as art, you shouldn't be half ass'ing it. L2Photography
