You can see more of photographer Ole Bielfeldt's remarkable work -- including a video of a struck match -- on his Instagram feed.

The apparent heart in the breast cancer cells of #3 stood out for emotional impact.

@coreyspowell It's a nice picture.
But I don't think it will be too difficult with a modern digital camera that can extract pictures from video.

@coreyspowell Wow - thanks for posting this! So interesting :o)

@coreyspowell if you say it's second place, it implies there is a first place, and people are more likely to look at it.

Also wonder if they permitted the uploaders to provide a link to their work & one to explain the image..

@coreyspowell I wonder how many lens filters were sacrificed...

@coreyspowell @DinoCevolatti this is great science for students (in my head)

I think all those photos are fascinating, but this is, I think, the only one showing "something fascinating happening".

I just was very emotional and was thinking about my sister after I saw the 3rd place:

Breast cancer cells.

@coreyspowell Wait, allowed to enter a processed Image stack? Also, I would be interested in the process seeing that this is a moving subject. Did they composite? I can't think that would be allowed.

coreyspowell, 7 months ago

@theexplorographer Good questions. The "rules" section on the Nikon site gives remarkably little guidance about what is and is not allowed.

@theexplorographer @coreyspowell I wonder if they held the match stationary and moved the box instead?

@coreyspowell there are a LOT of weird chemicals on that matchead. i'd love to know the reactions.
