It was amazing to see them enjoying fishing in the midst of a north wind blowing and rough seas threatening to attack.
Review by Nobuo Shimose, Juror
The black rocky surface with rough breaking waves, white waves and beautiful ocean colors are truly the Sea of Japan in winter. The small silhouettes of the fishermen in the foreground well illustrate the grandeur of this photograph.

Wish-PEACE, WORLD IS ONE
Applicant Name
first heaven
Location
Kagetsu Road (Misumi, Nagato City)

While walking in search of stars, a replica of Yasuo Kozuki's toy "Taiko wo Tataku Hito" caught my eye. A message written on the drum. I wonder if he watched Orion in the cold sky that day. The player has a puzzled look on his face today.
Review by Nobuo Shimose, Juror
A doll beating a peace drum with the winter constellation Orion in the background. The new perspective is eye-catching. It would be better if the gestures of the dolls were more recognizable.

No.203Gulls dancing wildly
title (of a work of art)
boisterous dance of the seagulls (in which seagulls dance in great numbers)
Applicant Name
Akira Takagi
Location
Around Shishi-iwa, Aburaya, Nagato City
One word PR
Seagulls dancing wildly in Aburaya Bay were photographed.
Review by Nobuo Shimose, Juror
The dancing petrels with the setting sun in the background are beautiful. The photographer took a good shutter chance to capture a scene that would otherwise tend to be disordered in its arrangement. Photo contest flyer tableThe "Nagato City Tourism Photo Contest - Nagato Original Scenery" is open to any theme, as long as the material can best convey the charm of Nagato City as a tourist destination (Nagato, a city that plays on the Japanese spirit of "Kindness"), including natural scenery, traditional culture, events, and food.
