  I selected the works with an emphasis on the fact that there is no hesitation in what they want to do and that they have a clear vision of what they want to create.
  I was very impressed from the first time I saw this work, because it was so dynamic in its expression of "movement" in contrast to the "stillness" of many of the other works I have seen.
  It was almost as if I could see through the joyful atmosphere of the photo shoot, and all the elements, including the blue sky in the background, the movement of the models, and the styling of the costumes, led to an expression that captured the theme in a positive way.
  Since the photo has a high level of completion, even the simple graphics included in the work were also very good.
  While many works show detailed techniques such as coloring, cutting, and styling to show the hairstyle, this work took advantage of the human movement and gravity to express the hair movement. I felt that it is an interesting and new approach from a new angle.
  This work has the energetic power to cheer us up just by looking at it. It made me think that if the stage is set for the future like this, the future will surely be bright.
  It's my favorite photo! Congratulations!
