Small Flower Big World

Have you ever introduced yourself to a succulent's flower?

Shot with a macro ring adapter, simply allowing the reversal of a lens to facilitate a magnified field of view. With this method, the plane of focus becomes paper thin and capturing things in their true detail presents a delightful challenge.
I have always thought that succulents appear almost alien on a magnified scale, but upon closer inspection it is obvious that beauty such as this can only come from the nature we have here at home.
