This is brilliant! I know we're not looking through a microscope so please tell me how you achieved this. The fact you made this look like a microscope view really nails this shot. Well done - 8.

Very funny - know what they are meant to be but not what they actually are. Thanks for the smile.

Not sure I get this one. Is this a microscope of some sperm? Nothing is in focus so it does have an abstract feel. However an abstract usually does not have a vignette with it. Sorry if this is not much help, I just do not see what you were going for.

Haha, thanks for the laugh. The vignette makes it seem like you're seeing the scene through a microscope.
