以前Flcikrで批評文つけてもらったやつがappマガジンの方にも掲載されたみたいです。見開きなんだけど紙じゃないと見開きドーンだぜ!って いう感じには見えないもんだね。まぁキャプションとか批評文ついてそれらしくは見えるかな。せっかく批評文書いてもらったので勝手に転載させてもらいます ね。書いてくれたKristinに感謝です。Thank you !

Although there are so many exquisite, simply brilliant shots in our pool, this one has been one of my favourites from day one. It is hard to describe exactly why, because this image triggers a very instinctive, emotional reaction in me that is not easily captured in words. I simply love the greyish, delicate tones, the way the protagonist is compared to one of the huge flowers towering above her – or him? – turning the human presence into something poetic, elusive, and immensely beautiful. But although there are similarities, it’s the differences that keep me watching here. The flowers are stretching into the sky, trying to catch the sunlight. The human figure has no interest in that. She merely stands still, frozen in time before she is caught in the black net before her.
More than anything, this shot evokes questions, rather than answers. Where are we? What are these flowers? What will happen next? Yet, the answers do not matter. Mankichi Shinshi has created a beautiful, otherworldly reality that we love to be a part of. It’s unclear where we are, why we are there, or how we got here, but we sure want to stay here for a while.

Featured : Won the street photography battle match on Flickr group "Street Fight! (Week 44, Match 2)"

よっしゃ2勝目!(正確には3勝目なんだけど前回は敗者復活戦だったから…)。相手のもきれいな作品だけどコンセプト勝ちって感じかな。このシュールなやつで勝てたのはうれしいな。きれいとかかっこいいとかそういうんじゃない世界で生きていたいな。

今年の1月くらいに撮ったやつだからずいぶん前になるんだけどなぜか今更選ばれてしまったみたい。なんでやろ。image poolでも結構下の方に埋もれてたはず。まぁ…よし。ありがとう。
