This photograph symbolically captures the universal theme of “freedom” by portraying the moment a seagull takes flight. The fence in the background, adorned with bird-like designs, hints at the ambiguous boundary between reality and symbolism, emphasizing that the bird’s flight is not merely an action but a representation of “liberation” and “new beginnings.” The monochrome tones imbue the image with a timeless stillness and a poetic atmosphere.
The extraordinary in the everyday of the metropolis Yokohama.
Since its opening as a gateway to the world, Yokohama, a major city in Japan, has developed as a hub for international trade. It is also the birthplace of many aspects of contemporary culture. I have attempted to capture the sense of the extraordinary hidden within the everyday life of Yokohama in my work.
– Рейтинг фотографов по странам и городам строится на основе 3-х лучших фотографий автора и их относительной позиции в каждой отдельной номинации. Рейтинг в номинации "Мобильная фотография" учитывается в меньшей степени для формирования рейтинга. В списке по странам и городам показывается одна фотография автора с лучшим рейтингом.
– В списке опубликованы только работы которые прошли 2-й этап голосования.
– В рейтинге лучших фотографий учитывается только одна — самая сильная — работа от каждого автора. Даже если у фотографа опубликовано несколько работ, в расчёте позиции используется только одна, с наившим рейтингом. Поэтому порядок фотографий в списке может не совпадать с итоговым положением автора в рейтинге.
– The rating of photographers by countries and cities is based on the three best photos of the author and their relative position in each separate nomination. Rating in the nomination "Mobile Photography" is taken into account to a lesser extent for rating formation. The list by country and city shows one photo of the author with the best rating.
– Only those photos have been published in the list that passed the second stage of voting.
– Only one strongest photo from each author is counted in the Best Photos ranking. Even if a photographer has several published works, only the highest-rated one is used to calculate their ranking position. As a result, the order of photos in the list may not match the author's final ranking position.
