The other day a still life image was posted on this site. However often still life imagery is a very wide subject which is much maligned undervalued and even ignored; for example look at this image.
One of my passions is microscopic nature photography and the above image is of a moss seed. The whole seed is approximately 2mm in length. The cap show is approximately 0.2mm or smaller. The picture was taken in the field with a lot of heavy equipment; showing the seed towards the end of summer, when it is about ready to fall off the parent plant. We have all walked passed millions of these seeds, yet look at the crown cap, it is beautiful. Still life is about looking at, being aware of our surroundings with the realisation of that we all are a part of all this great wonder, called creation.
