2. Little Winter Wonderland. Finalist, Plants and Fungi: "This picture of a small group of mushrooms with icy caps was taken on a very cold winter's day, just one day before the end of the year on a 2.5-hour macro tour. I found the mushrooms in a wooded area near my home at Herbstein, Germany." #

7. Lepisma Saccharina. Finalist, Micro: "This portrait of a silverfish is one of my largest focus stacks, composed of around 350 images. I cleaned the specimen as much as possible before photographing, so as to minimize the work in post-production." #

12. Glass Worm. Winner, Micro: "Glass worms can vary in length from about half an inch to two inches. On the right side of this particular image you can see the large tracheal bubbles that serve as hydrostatic organs (or swim bladders). These bubbles allow the larvae to keep its horizontal position in the water column, while also helping to regulate the depth of its immersion." #

14. Slime Molds on Parade. 2nd Place, Plants and Fungi: "This image is a stack of 34 focus-bracketed images. It was taken in February 2020 in a mixed woodland in Buckinghamshire, UK. It shows a line of 2.5 millimeter-high fruiting bodies of the slime mold Metatrichia floriformis growing on a decaying beech trunk." #
