Win a Canon EOS 7D Camera kit including a 15-85mm lens and Canon Speedlite 580XII worth £2,000 in our great macro photo competition, in association with Lost Planet 2.

Capcom's Lost Planet 2 is BIG. Big bugs, bigger aliens and even bigger battles. As part of a four-man team sent to seize control of a changing planet, the game pits man versus beast in spectacular fashion - with awe-inspiring vistas playing host to a range of                                                               spectacularly fearsome foe.



Remind yourself it's only a game. Or is it? Capcom wants to find the best real-life photo which plays with perspective to create the illusion of size.

We're looking for the best photo which plays with perspective, ones which marry a large depth of field with playful composition, or use macro to create objects out of proportion.

Take a look at our ‘macro’ guide to get some inspiration from our team.
