The 'Macro World' challenge encouraged photographers to take a larger than life perspective to capture the hidden world them, from ferocious insect portraits to the intricate and hidden natural patterns of plants. The winners, and a selection of commended images, were published in Photography Week magazine and we're pleased to share the top 102 photographs here.
