I know! I actually found the first place winner the least interesting! |

I really appreciate macro, it soothed my soul many years ago while going through a rough time in my life. I was out everyday rain or shine finding things to photograph in macro. The world of macro is truly amazing. I had never really done much with my first digital camera until then. It was the Canon G3. It's an eye opener as to how much life we miss without macro.

| Thanks Johanna enjoyed that. In true surfing style I followed the link to the main Smallworld site and noticed the 20th place image which turned out to be cow dung. Under the section 'Technique' it had "Darkfield". Reading that page it sounds like backlighting, can anyone translate this process to English please. |

| This site explains darkfield microscopy in some detail -- basically you are lighting transparent objects more-or-less from the side, so that the only light entering the objective is that reflected off or refracted by the specimen; it would be washed out by the normal microscope light shining directly into the lens. |

Yep. In darkfield microscopes, everything is incorporated in the objective lens. Massively useful technique. |
