'German Scientific Photographer of the Year'

Micronaut is proud to announce, that he has just received the 'German Scientific Photographer of the Year' award 2009! The awarded series of images named 'The Evolution in Flowering Plants'. Composite flower heads look like big single flowers, but they are composed of numerous individual 'florets' or single flowers. "The images explain an entirely complex process at first sight", says the author. Actually, 2009 is the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin, who published his groundbraking 'Theory of Evolution' in 1859. Therefore Micronaut has dedicated his series of images to the ingenious english naturalist. Link: BDW Awards 2009

the naked truth about daisies

With inimitably clear vision, Sir Charles Darwin wrote in 1859 (!): "Flowers rank amongst the most beautiful productions of nature, but this beauty serves merely as a guide to insects, in order that the flower may be visited and fertilized." The image displays eight different steps during the coloration process, using the single florescence from a composite as an example.
