[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I am not a biologist, but I´ll try to say something about this picture took in the garden of a beautiful hotel in Trancoso.
This scene has less than 1 centimeter and shows a part of a flower. As I have read from the Internet, the yellow structure is the pollen source(Antera)and the red one is the stigma where the pollen is received.

This was my first picture using macro.
Actually, I used a super-macro option of the camera which allows 0cm of focus range from end of lens.
This means the stigma touched the lens and you can see the pollen spread out over them, as small white points.

Notes: increase contrast and decrease brightness in order to enhance the colors.
