Now, let's dive right into the roundup! 😆

First up is Noami Chihiro-san!
Have you ever looked at someone's photo and found yourself wondering — how did they come up with this? What kind of experimentation led them here? Was it a sudden flash of inspiration, or a happy accident? Whenever I come across a photo that I never would have thought of myself, I always find myself chasing that question. The rhythmic motion of fingers in a row. The real and its reflection. In the darkness, these hands are all we can see. I was completely drawn in by that unsettling, irresistible pull. This feels like a shot only Noami-san could have taken. 😍

Next is tulipmama-san!
That vivid punch of blue and green hits the moment my eyes land on it. The corridor reflected in the visor's mirrored surface stretches into the distance — like a walkway leading to an entirely new world. And then it clicks: that's exactly what "BRIDGES" means. The wordplay lands perfectly. This is a shot where tulipmama-san's eye for connection truly shines. ✨🥰

Next is Donkichi-san!
Simply stunning. The gentle gradient from cool to warm tones. The silhouettes of trees and streetlights receding into the distance. The bold tonal split between the upper and lower halves of the frame. The red tail lights and the blue curve of the car are the only things alive in this stillness — and you feel it. The two transmission towers add a depth that just feels right. This kind of composition only comes from someone with a truly refined sense of beauty. 🥰

Next is Taka San-san!
A shot that genuinely takes my breath away. The glittering castle and the burst of fireworks compete for your attention — and both win. But it's the rippling water below that brings the whole image to life. The little boat plays its part too, quietly. The scene is still, and yet somehow I find myself waiting for it to move. That's the magic of this one. 🤩

Next is Kiara.Ma2u-san!
The trees and the Manhattan skyline reflected on the water's surface. A yacht floating within that reflection, casting its own shadow to create a double mirror effect. The white sail against the deep green is simply beautiful. And there's something endearing about the way it sits there — like it's been left behind, quietly at a loss. This is a beautiful reflection shot that says so much with so little. 😊
