Close-Up Photographer Of The Year: 20 Stunning Winning Images

Fragile, Winner Insects category MIKE CURRY - CLOSE-UP PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR
Mike Curry won the Insects category with his shot of a butterfly surrounded by peeling paint. ‘The juxtaposition of manmade decay and natural beauty works beautifully here,” said competition judge Ross Hoddinott. “The texture and pattern of the blistered paint creates a compelling close-up on its own, but the addition of the butterfly’s natural beauty and delicacy is a masterstroke.”
