Winners Of The Close-Up Photographer Of The Year Awards Give Their Unique Perspective On the World

Bufo Bufo by Mathieu Foulquié (France). Third Place, Animals. This common toad (Bufo bufo) took a liking to me, probably because I looked like a frogman myself. He didn't stop following me during my two-hour dive in the Buèges karst spring (Hérault, Occitanie, France), so he became the perfect model.
