Photographer Comments
It will soon come soon.
The sun gently illuminates the cherry blossoms.
Photographing location
A row of cherry blossom trees in the Tsurumi River
Comments
The pale color of the cherry blossoms and the color of the sunset that is not too strong are blended in a well-balanced manner. It is a work where you can hear the babbling of the Tsurumi River reflected in the setting sun. The photographer can feel that they are entrusting themselves at this time while bathing in the sunshine with the cherry blossoms. (Photographer, Hideo Mori)
Supplementary prize

"Hideo Mori Excellence Award" 2 points
"Blessing of the morning," Kazuo Obata
Photographer Comments
The farm road that I walk every day was refreshing and the morning sun was refreshing and morning dew.
When I noticed, I felt that the taro leaves were also getting bigger. Autumn is also getting deeper.
Photographing location
Nagatsutadai Agricultural Area
Comments
It is a work that is wrapped in dazzling light and it is an eye-catching work. The pampas grass in the foreground is also a part of the glow, and the leaves behind it. I think the reason why the taro leaves are wet with morning dew and feel divine because the photographer looks at this scenery in everyday life with a lovely gaze. (Mr. Hideo Mori)
Supplementary prize
Certificate of merit, book card 3,000 yen, commemorative gift

Comments
The presence of the torii gate floating clearly in the beautiful dusk sky is impressive. The shadows of the details of the torii gate received the glow of the sunset enhances nostalgia.
