Something I enjoy about macro photography is that the subjects are typically a familiar object, however the extreme detail reveals aspects of the subject that are completely unfamiliar and alien. Take this flower for example…up close it looks more like something out of the movie Avatar. Or maybe a Dr Seuss book.

I find it fascinating that such colors and shapes exist naturally.
