‘World in Macro’ challenged entrants to get up close and personal with the world, from intricate insects to tight shots of textures. Of course, the latter proved extremely popular with many beautiful bugs – including the great winning shot by Micha Mettier of a hungry wasp, along with some amorous insects by Michal Sata and Joana Katina!
