21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Close up of pollen on stamen in a Daylily flower

I was bored at my part-time weekend job where an employee often brings in fresh flowers from their garden. I decided to do a closeup photoshoot of the flowers so that the boring interior of the building didn't appear in the background. The detail of the pollen grains was eye-catching and inspired me.
