A photo of a water buffalo in Okinawa. The guide creates a pleasant journey by taking tourists on a cart pulled by the buffalo. This piece perfectly captures the buffalo's large body and impressive horns using the centered composition.

A photo capturing a single lotus using the centered composition. An essential aspect of utilizing the centered composition is distinguishing the main subject from other elements. Surrounded by the green of lotus leaves, the vivid pink is beautifully emphasized in this work.

A photo of a public phone. As mentioned in the caption, public phones are becoming rare, yet photos of them seem surprisingly common...! The empty phone booth evokes a sense of nostalgia, feeling left behind by the passage of time.
