1st Place - Outstanding Achievement

"Ball"

What is unexpectedly quite difficult is to look at a daily life. However taking photographs gives me a chance to review it. Then when I see the fragments as photographs I find surprises or something special that are beyond optical fact, and get an indescribably refreshing feeling. Needless to say, I said special but it is just a scenery which existed certainly. We can find a new world by changing our views only a little.
