The green of the trees was so beautiful and healing. I want to live with a quiet and calm heart, like the reflecting water.
Judging points: The green trees reflected on the water surface are as beautiful as a painting. The entire photo is covered in green, making it a very impressive scene. As the contributor mentioned, it was evaluated as a powerful piece that heals the hearts of viewers.

This is a photo I took during my daily walk because the green of the rice fields was beautiful. My son happened to be wearing green, and his smile was so bright, so I chose this photo.
Judging points: The sight of a child spreading their arms wide and laughing freely, surrounded by the green of the fields, seems to represent daily happiness and a hopeful future. The green of the clothes also stands out beautifully, perfectly expressing how 'green' colors people's smiles.

I collected a lot of green items that color my daily life. I am always healed by the favorite small items I have collected little by little.
Judging points: By unifying daily items and accessories with 'green', the work expresses how daily life is positively colored. It makes one feel that 'green' is an existence that improves the quality of life and moisturizes the heart.

I wonder if the 1500 yen one is just poorly shaped? I'll add 300 yen to make it 1800 yen because I don't want it to taste bad. But the 2000 yen one must be delicious... I go to the watermelon shop every year thinking about such things, looking for coolness and summer. So, how much did I buy? Well... 1800 yen! That's the kind of person I am...
Judging points: From the vivid green of the watermelons lined up in the store, one can feel the summer season and the blessings of nature integrated into life. The contributor's sense of finding fun in the different price settings of watermelons shows the richness of life of someone who is good at discovering joy in the familiar.

My husband took me to Momiji Lake near his business trip destination on a holiday. They say it's usually more colorful with autumn leaves, but since the long summer had just ended, the maple leaves were still a refreshing green. I will have him take me again.
Judging points: The tunnel of maple leaves, just before turning red, is depicted beautifully, wrapped in soft light. While it is a snapshot of casual daily life, it was highly evaluated as an emotionally rich work that conveys gratitude to the family.

I thought it was a grasshopper, but when I looked closely, it was handmade. It's amazing.
Judging points: At first glance, it looks like an ordinary photo of a grasshopper on a leaf, but the gap of it being a grasshopper made of woven grass is fun. I felt it was a unique submission.
