'First Come, First Served! 'Delicious Meals Save Us' - Crow Edition - A crow ate more neatly than us humans, leaving us in awe (crying and laughing)...'
📸 NIKON CORPORATION | NIKON D7100
cizucu Editorial Team
This photo shows a watermelon eaten by a crow. The humorous caption is a bit sad, but let's make sure we eat our watermelons more neatly than this pesky crow.
In Conclusion
How was it? Over the three months of this contest, there were works that skillfully highlighted the allure of food itself, works that focused on the relationship between food and humans, and even works about food and animals. All of them conveyed the message that 'eating is living' and made us appreciate the preciousness of life hidden in everyday life. Delicious meals save us! Look forward to the next contest!
