The theme for February was "Resonating". Do you hear sounds from photos? I can somehow sense sounds from the colors of a photo, or I can sense a quiet or lively atmosphere. And "resonating" is something that you feel in your heart, isn't it? I made the theme open to various interpretations, and I wanted to see photos that "resonate" with the members, or photos that "resonate" with you personally.
The members of the club sent in many photos that expressed the sounds of voices and sounds they could hear, as well as the sounds they felt around them. The photos exceeded my expectations, as I had no idea that such sounds could be heard. After looking at all the photos, I chose just one, and this is the one I would like to introduce to you.
The first thing I noticed was that the photography technique was superb. The angle, the setting that makes you feel the splashing water, the light, and the ability to capture the moment are all wonderful. I also like how it's just the feet, and being able to see just this scene gives it a lot of power to convey and room to imagine. You can almost hear the voices resonating loudly and you can see how they are enjoying the anticipation of spring through the photo, and it was a photo that resonated with me as well.
