No matter how you look at it, how was the Japanese photo contest special selection that looks like a composite photo taken?
The 39th 'Japan's Nature' Photo Contest held in 2022, the special work ' Kagari ' is attracting attention as a photo that looks like a composite photo even though it is a live-action photograph.

The picture of the topic 'Gap' is as follows. The photographer is Kenichi Ohno, deputy branch manager of the Saitama Saitama Headquarters Saitama Branch of the All Japan Photography Federation. The blue water surface is shown on the left side of the image, and the orange water surface is shown on the right side. The boundary line between blue and orange is almost straight, and the egret straddles the boundary line, so even if it is said to be a live action, it looks like a composite photograph.
In the selection review, it is described as ``There is a fun that you cannot immediately understand how it was shot.''
Amazing photos with a strong impact. There's something interesting about it that you can't immediately understand how it was shot. This is a shot that was taken because there was no wind. It teaches us that a small change can make a big difference in a photo. It's difficult to shoot nature when there are man-made objects, but in this case they play a good supporting role and enhance the photo.
After the 'gap' became a big topic, the All Japan Photography Federation, which hosted the contest, released the 'answer photo' provided by Mr. Ohno.
Below is a photo of the answers. Since a stone with the same shape as the stone in the 'distance' is shown, it can be judged that the 'distance' was taken at this location.
It looks like this when the part shown in the 'separation' is surrounded by a red frame. In this photo, the surface of the water is gray, but you can see that the color of the surface of the water changes at the part where the wall exists. Apparently, when the sun hits it in fine weather, the water surface on the left turns blue, and the water surface on the right turns orange because the color of the wall is reflected.
However, even if you look at the 'gap' again with the mechanism in mind, it is not easy to understand because the colors of the water surface are too clearly separated and the position of the egret in the center. It is also a convincing achievement that it was selected as a special prize for 'It is interesting that you cannot immediately understand how it was shot.'
