Macro photography has always intrigued us, and rightfully so- to see any subject with an extremely close-up view is to open up a whole new world that we never knew could exist!

Whether it is exotic insects, vibrantly colored flowers, or plain old tree bark, macro photographers find ways to make something relatively ordinary into a truly extraordinary image.

Here are the winners, and some of the finalists and highly commended images, of the 2020 Macro Art Photography Contest, by the International Garden Photographer Of The Year contest, in association with the Royal Botanic Gardens in London.
