◆ 'Art in Nature'
The third photo taken by Prajwal Chougule of India is a spider web with morning dew. The comment says, 'This is just an example of a simple, graphic yet beautiful photo.

◆ 'Leaf Illumination'
Trevor Collins of the United States posted a close-up image of a fig leaf placed on a desk. The review said, 'Who knew that just leaves would be so attractive?

Jirasak Panpiansin from Thailand was selected for the photo of the water droplets accumulated at the base of the leaves.

◆ 'The Final Bloom'
The photo of the short moment from the blooming tulips in the garden to being blown away by the wind is the work of Mr. Hojisan of China. 'Hojisan's photographs are beautiful in asymmetrical composition and form. They are intentionally abstracted, and the negative space in the background that complements the subject as much as the colorful texture and form is impressive.' bottom.
