      Hi Jade! Thank you for getting back to us. There are separate missions for 50 countries with the most users on Foap. We don’t have enough users in Malta to create a separate mission for people in your country, but you can join a general mission called “The Best Close-Up in the World.” I hope we will see your close-ups soon!

    Tasteful, mesmerizing and really captivating.
    The first picture is very innovating and clearly depicts the joy and peaceful bliss of studying.
    The facial lids of an old horse is my favourite….. It is so captivating to me. It shows how the old soul is dosing off to sleep after a long day at work…,very captivating.

    A foap mission for close up: an attractive world in close up. From afar, a beautiful world, even better in close up. Your lens and filter are yours to appoint, but to show the beautiful world close up will be your point. Always creative and never bleak, this beautiful world will be revealed when you show it in close up.

  39. 58

    A picture reflecting a snapshot of something or someone’s bubble. Raw, pure while being vulnerable.

  40. 59

    All the close up photo was amazing it is quite difficult to rate any one photo best one all seems to be best. But I will choose the cow picture which the cow was trying to catch something to her mouth. Loved all the pictures.

  41. 60

    I love that history is represented in all these photos . How time has aged and yet been reborn . From rust to wrinkles . Impressive

    I think the cow shoot should be in the top cuz its look so alive and so natural. i feel like its so real and so live. this is the greatest shoot ever.

    the best close-up in the world since it is subjective and depends on personal preferences. However, some popular and impressive close-up shots include:
    The eye of a human or animal: A close-up shot of an eye can reveal intricate details and emotions, making for a compelling and powerful image.
    Flower petals: Close-ups of flower petals can showcase their vibrant colors and unique patterns.
    Insects: Close-ups of insects can reveal their intricate structures and behaviors that are often invisible to the naked eye.
    Drops of water: Close-up shots of drops of water on surfaces can reveal unique patterns and textures.
    Food: Close-up shots of food can showcase its textures, colors, and details, making it look more appetizing.
    Ultimately, the best close-up shot is one that captures the subject in a unique and visually striking way, leaving a lasting impression on the viewer.

    I have fallen in love with the second picture, the front view of the old model car, so attractive and reflection view of lights with the name.
    The photographers sideview allowed a clear and beautiful image which reminds me of the movie fast and ferrous collection.

    Creativity is an art , many can see, some can understand, only a selected few can master…

    the best photo it’s the one of the old lady who works with the crochet. the photo makes you understand that those hands belong to a lady that worked hard all her life, and shows a job that in the future will be lost forever (knitting)

    I have to say every photo is stunning. My favorite would have to be the photo of the close up brown eye because they say the eyes are the windows to your soul and I believe the photo absolutely captures that.

    Picture eight that depicts the portrait of a lady is my choice. It is well shut, bright and beautiful. Moreover, it symbol izes a woman facing many Challenges but never daunted. She is brave and equal to the the problem as she looks up to the future in confidence.
