By Daniel Stoupin, these images are of fluorescent water fleas under a microscope, the colours are spectacular! They have a very alien look about them, but wonderfully are not from fiction. He has other stunning microscopic shots of bugs here.
By Mitch Dobrowner, I always find photography like this that captures the beauty and ferocity of nature the best, these pictures both have an atmosphere that would be near impossible to replicate. The whole set is amazing.

By Godley & Peers, I had the pleasure of reading a stunning article about this astounding cape in Crafts Magazine, the entire thing is woven from golden orb spider silk, this is the silks natural colour and has taken 8 years to gather the material and to produce it. It is currently in the V&A (Victoria & Albert Museum) in London, a truly remarkable feat of weaving, on the humans part too!
By Maggi Hambling, I have always had a proclivity for art made about or relating to water, the sea being the epitome of power and beauty, these paintings could not capture it more perfectly. You get a feeling of energy and power from just looking at them, the brush strokes and texture the water seems ready to wash right through the canvas and into the space they inhabit.
“The older I get I identify with the land which is being eroded, the sea is like time - you can do nothing about it. Death will come, the sea will come. It’s a metaphor for life.”
