When exploring the endlessly fascinating micro universe, I'm often drawn in by the inherent artistry I observe – by the naturally occurring compositions – by the textures and subtle details unseen with the naked eye.
Would that I could shrink myself down, that I may take a nap in a dandelion whilst watching the sun set through nasturtium petals.
Which one is your favorite? Can you guess what each image is a portrait of?

Thank you for playing! ;) The beach one – sand and feather – I love that one, too. 'Crispy curly thing' – I'll assume you mean the burs – isn't there something so sweet about how they're reaching for each-other? Like little fingers, curling against the fingertips of another. And YES – the nasturtium. So delicious, right!?

Wow! That's macro magic!
I remember going to see Microcosmos in the cinemas in the 90's and was just blown away! Such a magical world!
Gotta get me one of those iPhone lenses!!!! I've got a fisheye and a cheap macro, but didn't get these kinds of results! That's where your talent shines through!

OMG – that is one of my all time fave movies! The scene with the snails making love – yoooowza. So steamy!
You seriously must play more with your macro lens – get an olloclip. I'm serious! They're such amazing little tools. <3 I've been playing with them since 2012, so...I know how to use 'em! ;)
Love you, Nathan.

Wow these are such beautiful pictures! It sure looks like a different world. Absolutely gorgeous - however I can't really seem to figure out what they are, except for the second last which Im guessing is a very dry leaf?

You're right! It's a partially decayed, very dry leaf. The others are: Nasturtium, Burs, Dandelion Puffs, A Feather in Sand and a Seedpod ;)

Oooo, Ok, I had a feeling that one was a dandelion puff actually, but wasn't 100% sure. Hehe, these are so cool though!

Wait... you took these photos on an iPhone?! So cool! I take photos with my phone but don't have any special lenses. I kind of want to look into some now though. Great photos! I would love to be able to take a nap in a dandelion but I am not sure I would want to be small enough to come face to face with an insect though. Reminds me of that movie about the guy that shrunk himself and his kids. Thanks for sharing!

Yes...all on an iPhone, using olloclip macro lenses of varying magnifications. • I agree – coming face to face with some insects would be pretty scary of we were the same size. Eeep! But...might be worth it to enjoy the other wonders available to one so very small.

The top three are my favorites, the first one more so because it's so colorful. The fifth one down if I had to guess it would be a bee hive or maybe a leaf.

Yep! Fifth one down is a partially decayed leaf. ;) And the first...that's a nasturtium. So yum!

You have captured so much motion, I feel carried away into those micro-universes. The first photo looks like you were observing the moon from some alien garden. The others have this beautiful antique quality. Great job

Thank you @Zameena-zen! I do enjoy creating compositions that are whimsical. The first one – the nasturtium with the little spot of out-of-focus light – I've always felt like it looks like a sunset.

Yes! The title, at first, said Vibrant Colors, Pleasing Textures & Lines. But then...so many of the ones I wanted to include are muted and soft in tone. But I still had to include that first one. ;) I threw in the fuzzy green one in to balance it out – like bright bookends. ;)

Portrait # 1 - plants like us, thrive on light and water, reminding us we are the drop of water in the great ocean of life.
Portrait # 2 - All things are connected, the tentacles of these flowers reach out for each other to entangle, knowing everything and everyone is interdependent on each other - we are all in this together.
Portrait # 3 - Nature renews and regenerates herself. Here the seeds of life prepare themselves to exit the mother plant and fly on the breeze to new ground, where they bring new life and vitality.
Portrait # 4 - Life is interwoven throughout itself, in intricate designs and colours, reminding us of our roots. We are from nature and will return there in good time.
Portrait # 5 - "Energy cannot be created or destroyed" (thank you Albert Einstein). Here we see the transformation of a leaf into other forms of energy and in the process, revealing to us, the inner strength and core, that we too have within.
Portrait # 6 - Ahhh the vortex, welcoming in the bees, butterflies and other insects, to savour the sweet nectars of this life form. So it is with our hearts, beckoning love from within and outside, welcoming us to bathe in love, to give and receive without conditions.
Zippy, your photography is a beautiful reflection of that which resides within - thank you for sharing both.
