I particularly enjoyed David Chambon's work. It takes a lot of dedication and patience to shoot macro. Unfortunately I developed a phobia of insects and related things in early childhood, therefore I must stick to photographing people and landscapes.
Wow! Those macro shots with the dew were amazing! It looked like they were encrusted in diamonds! That would have taken a lot of patience and good timing! Thanks for the link!
