Having seen numerous photos of bridges, including the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge, this is the first time I've encountered such a fantastical, ethereal, and dramatic bridge photo.

Bridges, as massive structures created by human ingenuity, captivate us with their allure. Capturing their grandeur in photography is crucial in landscape photography.

Despite the tendency to fall into common compositions with bridges, this photo skillfully utilizes the weather. The unique composition of the bridge emerging from the mist delivers a striking impact reminiscent of foreign landscapes.

The moment you see this photo, you can't help but feel it's 'cool'. This phenomenon can only be seen at the moment when the sea of clouds, created by the previous day's humidity and temperature differences, harmonizes perfectly.

To witness this scene, one must visit this place repeatedly, climbing the mountain in the dark and enduring the cold with a glimmer of hope.

sei♫'s photo is the culmination of such efforts, delivering breathtaking beauty. The stunning landscapes captured by sei♫ as they travel across the country offer us views we don't usually see, providing stimulation and excitement. We look forward to more surprises through the seasonal landscapes they will continue to deliver.

The moment I saw this photo, I strongly felt the power of life. Trees, which naturally grow from the soil and reach toward the sky, are now submerged in water yet still striving to live. This deeply moved me.

The charm of this photo doesn't lie in its flashiness. Instead, the quiet atmosphere of the place, the serene ambiance where life breathes, quietly appeals to the viewer's heart. The photographer's skill, as well as the meticulous attention in retouching, cannot be overlooked. All these elements combine to create the unique depth and emotion of this photo. 

In Conclusion

Just as we deeply consider what we want to convey through our own works, many find joy in imagining what others' works are trying to express. This empathy and curiosity are at the core of the 'Spotlight' initiative. 'Spotlight' continues to shine a light on each creator's work, fostering a space where new inspiration is born and spreads among creators…
