"Dark Tropical"
Judge's comment
It's like you've entered a forest.
It's a work with a great sense of depth.
The shallow focus created by using a long lens creates a nice bokeh effect.
The composition is solid and the design is very tasteful!
This work is worthy of the Grand Prize.
◆Excellent Award

A dignified purple flower emerges from the water.
Green leaves floating on the water surface.
The overall contrast is great and I think it's a piece that you'll never get tired of looking at.
The composition is also calming, as it deliberately leaves the flowers spaced apart on the left.

Judge's comment
The close-up of the flowers is very impressive!
He makes good use of the photographic expression.
It's fun to see the expressions of flowers that you don't normally get to see.
The gentle light from behind and the close-up of the pink flowers are very soothing.

"I want to see it again."
Judge's comment
A happy moment watching children having fun playing in the front yard.
After enjoying the plants at the botanical garden,
The children running energetically, the contrast between the blue sky and the botanical gardens, and the long shadows of the Canary Islands palm trees create a peaceful afternoon atmosphere.
