I had to go back to the site many times because I was not blessed with good weather conditions when I tried to take pictures of this scenery, which had been photographed by many senior photographers. The key point is the "Tobi" perched for a moment on the rock on the left.
Review by Nobuo Shimose, Juror
The dynamic composition of this sunset photo, which is often a theme, is eye-catching. The gradation of the sky and the bird perched on the ground are also effective. Above all, the shutter speed is appropriate, and the way the waves are represented as clouds is wonderful.

A money-offering box attached to the stairwell of the torii gate. It is too high to reach the god. It was so frustrating. But with the support of my friends behind me, I managed to get it in the box. This will bring me good luck, right?
Review by Nobuo Shimose, Juror
A good, fun-looking photo with a good shutter chance. It seems that young women are interested in power spots and other new tourist attractions, and the feeling that they have become new tourist attractions is well expressed.

Why rice is delicious

Not to mention the hard work of the farmers, this beautiful environment is what makes the rice so delicious. (The photo doesn't look like a post-farmer's field, but it is ・・・・.)
Review by Nobuo Shimose, Juror
Recently, many of the early varieties are harvested before the higanbana blooms, so it is rare to see a scene like this. The vivid colors of this work are eye-catching. Photo contest flyer table Nagato City Tourism Photo Contest - Nagato Original Scenery The "Nagato Original Scenery" contest is open to any theme that best conveys 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, food, and more.
