Ok gang. Been doing this job for a few years and I had to enter this just for giggles. Have never seen this before and may never see this again. I figured I would share this with you.
I hope you enjoy. There was no spot editing. Just put the Cam up to the eyepiece of the microscope and shot. Then resized. This is the best I could do. Very hard to focus this shot.

Really cool idea for a shot. I've been thinking of doing a shot like this myself, but can't find the apparatus to do so. Well done, even though nothing seems in focus. Very interesting capture.
Crazy shot! Micro-photography looks really, really hard. The purple face is a cute touch. The blood cells seem unclear. Challenge-wise - it's a bit of a stretch, but it is an interesting idea (a.k.a. not fully buying into it). 6 Rob the Swash
This is incredibly sweet, but I just can't shoehorn it into the topic as much as I might try (since, among other things, people are explicitly mentioned, and there are no entire people in the shot).
I'd love to know how you did this one within the rules, or do they all look like that? Contrast, focus and lighting are a bit off for me, but a strong 7 on composition and entertainment factor.
This cracks me up. I think you did an excellent job getting this shot. I don't know what they look like directly, but the focus does seem a little soft, however, I realize that this is a tough shot to get. What a perfect smiley though.
Lucky shot if that really is a blood cell! Did you take this through microscope using a special adapter? It appears a little washed out to me though (5)
