You've got to wonder how much of that is photoshop. Most of the rose looks like it's covered in frost. But the rose in the background has none. So was that one added or...

From what I understand, a lot of the insect photos that you see are also "staged". Folks will catch insects and put them in the fridge to slow them down, and then get them out and photograph them when they are standing still. I suspect a bunch of the insect photos that you see where they are covered in dew are those staged photos. THey are very cool, but they lose a lot of their impact if you know that they have been staged/created.

Yea, getting just a few inches away from a fly is not likely to happen in "the real world" and much of great photography is a studio shot. Lots of "nature" photography is done in an studio setting with fancy lights, and cameras on rails or mechanisms that are remote controlled.

Food photography is the same way. If you go to a restaurant and open the menu and the food photos look wonderful, it is a studio photo with a food stylist and special lighting. If the photos looks like a Facebook photo with one flash lighting, it is not a studio photo. I have helped on foot photos jobs that cost many thousands to get a perfect shot of a meal.

1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 Cabriolet Strong and beautiful 50's classic German engineering at it's finest!
The Mercedes-Benz W188 was a luxury sports tourer produced by Mercedes-Benz between 1951 and 1958. The company's most expensive and exclusive automobiles, the elegant, hand-built 300 S (1951-1954) and its successor 300 Sc (1955-1958) were the pinnacle of the Mercedes line of their era.
The Mercedes-Benz Type 300 (chassis codes W186, W188, and W189) were the company's largest and most-prestigious models throughout the 1950s. Analogous to today's S-Class, the Type 300 cars were elegant, powerful, exclusive, and expensive. The 300, 300b, 300c, and 300d touring cars were often referred to as Adenauers after Konrad Adenauer, the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany. In office from 1949 to 1963, he employed six custom convertible, hardtop, and landaulet versions of this model during his tenure.It was the most expensive luxury car of its day, twice as much as the 300SL and American luxury cars of the day. Equally important, it was the model that returned Mercedes-Benz to its prewar international clientele. Hence this was a car of the rich and famous including the Aga Kahn, the Shah of Iran, King Gustav of Sewden, Frank Lloyd Wright, Gary Cooper, Yul Brenner, Maria Callas, Clark Gable & Bing Crosby.

A 42,000-year-old foal discovered frozen in Siberian permafrost contained a surprise: the oldest liquid blood on record.

This is the second time that a defrosted Ice Age animal has turned out to contain liquid blood, said Semyon Grigoriev, the head of the Mammoth Museum at North-Eastern Federal University in Yakutsk. In 2018, Grigoriev and his colleagues extracted liquid blood from a 32,200-year-old mammoth carcass. That makes the foal's blood the oldest ever found by 10,000 years.

Grigoriev and his colleagues are set on cloning a mammoth and other Pleistocene fauna, and they're already trying to clone the foal, a member of an extinct species called the Lena horse. It's a long shot, though, Grigoriev wrote in an email to Live Science. [Photos: Perfectly Preserved Baby Horse Unearthed in Siberian Permafrost]

"But," he said, "we in Russia say that hope dies last."
Lena horse

The Lena horse (Equus caballus lenensis) foal was found in the Batagaika Crater in eastern Siberia last year. The foal was 1 to 2 weeks old and stood 39 inches (98 centimeters) at the shoulder when it died, drowning in mud. Remarkably, the icy permafrost preserved the foal's skin and hair down to the tiniest detail. There was even well-preserved urine still inside the foal's bladder, Grigoriev said.

The liquid blood was a surprise, he said. Typically, blood coagulates or turns to powder even in well-preserved carcasses, because fluids gradually evaporate over thousands of years, he said. In the mammoth, dubbed "Buttercup" by researchers, the blood was preserved in ice inside the carcass.
