"Summer Reflection"
Judge's comment
As the title suggests, this work is a model for reflection photography.
The two-split composition is well thought out, giving the photo a sense of stability.
The impressive silhouette of the botanical garden reflected in the large aquarium in the foreground is very beautiful!
I think this is a very good work with a high degree of perfection, even down to the clouds.
Outstanding performance award

"Beyond the waterfall"
Judge's comment
The result is a moist work with a sense of depth.
The waterfall in the foreground is used to create a foreground blur, making the flowers in the background appear more emphasized.
The way the light enters from the left and the overall composition are both perfect!

"nightmare"
Judge's comment
It's rare to see such a terrifying photograph of a carnivorous plant!
I think the power of this photo is due to the fact that the photo was taken so close to the plants.
It really looks like it's coming to me in a dream! lol.

"Flowers on the ground"
Judge's comment
The works for the Yumenetsu Award are selected by Yumenoshima Tropical Botanical Museum staff.
The dynamic nature of the canary palm, which can be said to be the symbol tree of Yumetsu,
And the scenery on the west side of the botanical museum is a photo that is very typical of Yumenetsu.
No wonder it was so popular with the staff.
