Jurors’ Comment

Frequently with photos of this sort, the more you look at them the more your first impression of them fades. However, with this one I felt something different each time I looked at it. I think that is because it includes many unstable and indefinite elements. Is it the youth who is seeing the dream, or the photographer who is looking on?(Yukio Uchida)

The photo is well suited to the radiance theme. The youth falls away from the viewer in the backlight. I felt an indescribable melancholy to that. The photographer, and we, too, are doubly eyeing the scene at which the youth simultaneously is looking. In that sense, too, it is a three-dimensional work.(Kisei Kobayashi)
