The Best Close-Up in the World – Country Challenge. Comment in the app to win!

Close-up photography can capture incredible images, beautiful detail and magical moments that last long in the memory.

By close-up photos, we think about all photos focused on details, like close portraits, parts of the body, elements of everyday items, abstract objects, and much more.

 

You can use zoom, macro, or telephoto lenses with your DSLR or mirrorless camera, but you don’t need professional equipment to create stunning close-ups and win this challenge. You can easily create them even with a smartphone – check out this helpful guide:

Rewards (up to $1,500):

The Best Close-Up in the World: $200

2nd place: $100

3rd place: $50

4-10 place: $10

The best photos in each country: $10 each

The Best Comments $10 each

 

This Country Challenge has 3 stages. Joining missions is closed now. We chose and rewarded the best shots in every country, and you can check them out in the mission called “The Best Close-Up in the World.”

Now you can comment on your favorite photos to help us to choose 10 best finalists. 10 best comments (added on the photos in the app, not here) will also be rewarded!

      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!

      Hey Ornella! I’m super happy that you loved the mission idea. There are separate missions for 50 countries with the most users on Foap. We don’t have enough users in Ecuador to create a separate mission for people in your country, but you can still join and win by uploading photos to 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.

    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.

    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.

    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)
