The year is drawing to a close, and with it the winding down of several global photography competitions. The Nikon Small World competition has been running since 1975, and with 45 editions under its belt, the quality of the images has reached a whole new level. Earlier this week, the organizers of the 2019 edition announced the winners, and today we're sharing a gallery of the finest entries.
Galleries dedicated to macro photography and images under the microscope are among the most popular here at NeoTeo. There's clearly an enormous interest in getting a closer look at the world of the small and the mini, exploring colors, shapes, and patterns that would otherwise remain hidden. Of course, the best photographs of this kind deserve recognition, which is why we return to the Nikon Small World competition.
The 2019 edition already has its definitive winner, but I must admit that all the shots display extraordinary quality. Whether it's cellular activity or the crystal of a common mineral, thanks to the skill, experience, and talent of all those photographers and scientists, the invisible takes shape for our pleasure and knowledge. If you want to see the complete list, this link will take you to the right place, but don't miss our humble selection:
