Macro photography opens up an alien world that exists all around us, a bazaar world where the ordinary becomes the extraordinary.  The macro lens like the microscope shows us what reality is made of and how it is put together.  We take so many things for granted and often fail to see what is right in front of us. 

How many times have we seen a spider web with drops of due sparkling in the sun.  Our first reaction is to capture what we see with our ordinary eye.  But this photographer went further and came in close to discover how the droplets related to the gauzy fibers of the web.  The resulting image shows a world where water takes on an amebic life giving the illusion of a living form.  The macro fibers of the spider web interlink these organic shapes.

The photo-artist has tinted the composition with a green hue, normally not my favorite, but in this case it does add to the alien feeling of the image. There is not much going on in the way of graphics but the chaos is held together by the interlinking fibers and repeated patterns.  Overall this is an interesting study.
