We sincerely congratulate you on winning the grand prize among numerous entries.
The judges' comments are as follows.

This is a stunning shot of Hinogawa Dam's floating island in Hinocho, Shiga Prefecture, captured in the light of spring. The sky reflects beautifully on the water's surface, and the small island with cherry blossoms and pines appears to float in the air. The soft blue and cherry blossom pink blend quietly, leaving a lasting impression of the calm waters of Hinogawa Dam and the beauty of spring in Shiga.
This perspective, made possible by drone photography, captures the natural scenery of Hinocho gently without being extravagant. The combination of cherry blossoms, blue sky, and fresh leaves is pure and fitting for the title "Floating Island in the Sky."
This grand prize-winning work is one we wish to share widely as a scenic highlight of cherry blossom spots in Shiga, tourism in Hinocho, and the breathtaking views of Hinogawa Dam.
