This is just clever. It takes a lego model to a different level and provides a clear connection to the rest of the image. Looks like some photoshop editing has gone on with the apple, but it all lends itself to a great composition.

This for me captures the brief completely. All of the items in the image are man made, and it is a macro photograph. What I love about it though is the symmetry and connection you get through the image. Its really very good. A very well deserved winner of this competition.

When I looked at this image I had no idea what it was. I think had you not put the title in as "A Fork" I think I would have struggled to tell you what it was. That's what this contest is all about for me, the usual, but photographed unusually. Nice work !

This is clever. Fulfils the brief of man made macro, but on two levels. Not only is everything in the picture man made, but the painter is painting something. I love it, well done. I would love to know where you got the model from as well. I'm always looking out for new ones.

Brief

See more contest details

Macro photos of manmade objects are quite different to macros of natural matter, but no less beautiful in the textures, patterns and shapes that they can reveal. The weave on a piece of fabric can be just as intricate as the network of fine threads on a spider’s web, and the fine spirals of a screw equally elaborate as the grain on a piece of wood.

I absolutely love this image. It is very difficult to capture this kind of shot. However it is a man made macro competition which is why it did not make it into the top 10. Had it been a different competition, this would have been my winner.
