Prize-winning macro photo takes us into the Martian-like world of plasmodial slime mold

Martian landscape by Irina Petrova Adamatzky: plasmodial slime mold, Lamproderma scintillans, populating the surface of a decomposing autumnal leaf.

Returning for the first time since 2019, the Royal Society Publishing Photography Competition 2023 showcases fascinating photographs that capture 'scientific phenomena happening all around us'.

The competition is made up of 5 categories, Astronomy, Behavior, Earth science and climatology, Ecology and environmental science, and Microimaging. Some seriously impressive images give viewers a glimpse into worlds that are all around us but often go unnoticed. The winning image is just that, capturing a scene that would usually be stepped over.
