Birds were swimming gracefully in the pond, and a heron flew in and I hurried to take a picture.
Review by Nobuo Shimose, Juror
The vividness of the white heron in this serene, dark image is eye-catching. The full dynamic range of the photo is used to create a complete image with no black and white blurring.

I captured one of my favorite views that can be seen at Daneiji in the fall.
Review by Nobuo Shimose, Juror
The photograph captures well the scene of fiery autumn leaves in late fall. The small child in the falling light gives the viewer a sense of the splendor of the foliage and the spaciousness of the grounds, making for a very impressive photograph.

The May carp streamers at Ryugu and the sunset at Gobata are best when the weather is fine, but the sea spray seems to be best when there is a strong north wind and swell?
Review by Nobuo Shimose, Juror
The rocky coastline of the Sea of Japan in winter with strong northerly winds is well captured. The rocky surfaces and the spray from the surging waves are well rendered in subdued tones. The "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. Entries are open to anyone residing in Japan who can responsibly submit an original work that does not infringe on the rights or privacy of others. From the monthly entries, a monthly award, a runner-up, and three prizes will be selected, and finally, one grand prix will be selected from among up to three prizewinning entries each month.
