*They may look like monsters from a horror film, but these tiny creatures
inhabit our homes, clothes and even our bodies. A new book, 'Micro
Monsters', showcases some of the planet's most horrible insects and
microscopic beasts. British author and trained zoologist, Tom Jackson, spent
three months compiling the images in the book. Scientists coated the tiny
creatures in gold, froze them in liquid nitrogen and fired a beam of
electrons at the subjects from a scanning electron microscope to reveal the
incredible detail*

*"I wanted to get together all the most gruesome and beastly pictures I
could," said 38 year-old Tom from Bristol. "This book shows children
everything that's around them at home, the garden and the playground."*

that show the intricate details of their eyes, mandibles and even the hairs
on their heads," said Tom*

Some thoughts on why.
I decided to do a bee / flower photo this morning. Found one I liked, and began processing. I always tend towards CLOSER rather than wider. Did the cropping / composition work, then the processing for 'finish'. Got completely done, added the matting/framing.
Then I went back to the original photo file to pull off some EXIF information. Looking at the original shot again, I felt like it needed to be shown not as a very tight crop, but rather a longer view...for the overall beauty of the moment.
This isn't a voting situation, not a 'which one do you prefer' thing. I'm including the TIGHT crop below this wider view, just to show how different processing approaches result in very different final images.
The star is held together by putty, but I still think it's awesome.

I marked all functions with different colors to make it a bit clearer:
0. XL-motor - white
1. Left crane back and forth - purple
2. Left crane up and down - green
3. Left crane open and close (pneumatic)
4. Right crane up and down - yellow
5. Right crane turning - red
6. Right crane open and close (pneumatic)
7. Transport car back and forth - orange
8. Boat forward and backward - blue
9. Pneumatic pump - pink
