    Round Ten Close-ups

    Fit a macro lens to your camera and you open up a whole new world of photographic possibilities and ways of seeing. Tiny insects suddenly become frame-filling creatures, every detail revealed, while flowers and plant life become studies in shape, shadow and form. And you don’t even need a macro lens – close-up photography is just as possible with a standard lens, particularly if looking for more abstract compositions. There’s something about the world in miniature that makes us appreciate detail all the more – as these outstanding top ten images reveal. This is the final round of this year’s APOY. Turn to page 96 to find out more about the winners!
