Capturing the essence, beauty, and diversity of the botanical world is what our Botanical Britain category is all about.
Using 160 focus-stacked photographs, Jason McCombe created this highly detailed image of tiny slime moulds, which was selected as the winning image of this category 🏆
@Jasonmc_nature told us that these slime moulds are 'so small that if you are not looking for them you will simply overlook them. Each head on these fruiting bodies is approximately 1mm wide, and the depth of field when shooting at such high magnification is so shallow that focus stacking is required.'
Congratulations on an incredible image Jason!
Thanks to our category supporters
