The sea was rough, but the sky was clear, so I slowed down the shutter a little to emphasize the emerald blue color of the sea.
Review by Nobuo Shimose, Juror
The intricate movement of the waves at the exquisite shutter speeds is superb. It will be remembered as a wonderful work that captures Qinghai Island in winter.

A beautiful screen reminiscent of the movie "Poppoya". The white, pale screen is accented by the color of the train, which gives the station a wintery feel.

Tomorrow, I will take a calf to the sea, but please let it go. In exchange, my wife and I will be caught in the net on the way back..." The chief of the whale team had a strange dream. This is a sad story passed down through the generations in Nagato, a town that prospered from whaling. I remember it every time I see a whale swimming in the night sky.
Review by Nobuo Shimose, Juror
Fantastic images, as if you are in the sea. I have seen many photos of monuments of whales and their parents, but this is a wonderful new perspective.  The 3rd Nagato City Tourism Photo Contest - Nagato Original Scenery," themed on tourism materials in Nagato City, closed for entries at the end of February.
