Title: The setting sun

The Story behind:

Nanning free paddleboard sports club members after training, facing the sun in the setting sun row to a better tomorrow!


Judges' Comments:

Both the shot and the paddler's gaze are low on the river, giving an elevated view of the sunset and the bridge ahead.

The setting sun reddened the sky and the river at the same time.


The bridge hung high over the river, the traffic on the bridge, a world of dust.

Like a mirage, sky streets.

Far away was the bustle and noise of the world, near the ease and silence of the rowers.

It can convey the dual convenience of paddleboard movement that can be born or enter the world.

The oarsmen are silhouettes against the setting sun, and the absence of detail only adds to the sense of symbolism.


The whole work is excellent in color, composition and conception.

It would have been more perfect if the vista had not been blurred, while avoiding the large building in the upper right corner.

Title: Row through the fog

The Story behind:

Paddleboating in the fog has long been a dream for paddleboarders.

, Hunan Chenzhou Anling Academy near the river often fog.

A group of us went to Anling Academy to try our luck this June.


In the morning, came out from the academy to the river ready to launch paddle board, as expected in the early morning of the river shrouded in thick morning fog.

I felt it would be a good shot to film the looming village on the shore and the paddling of my companions from high above.

So, I deliberately ran to the shore of a highland, with a long focal head took a group of fairyland photos, and then delimit into the thick fog to achieve the dream of the fog in the board.


Judges' Comments:

In the early morning, the fog of the river did not disperse.

The dark green jungle, milky smoke and silvery river water occupy the painting almost equally, making the painting extremely simple and clean with geometric beauty.


The finishing element is our rower, who emerges in front of the camera from the mysterious mist, as if the aura is a stage effect deliberately placed on the river.

The appearance of this visitor and admirer makes the picture more quiet and mysterious, and the so-called bird song mountain is more secluded.

The whole picture is in cool colors, set against the jungle, and a dilapidated old house brings the only warm color and mystery to the picture.

In order to better promote the movement and development of paddle board, Mr. Shi, leaders and sponsors jointly planned and held the "Golden Dragon Fountain Cup" wuhan first paddle board competition.


Judges' Comments:

At first glance, the high-rise building under construction in the distance echoes the paddleboard competitors in the nearby East Lake. A picture of "hundred boats striving for flow" is displayed.

The author successfully USES a small aperture (F8) to reflect the distance and distance, coupled with the flying clouds during the summer rainstorm, which further promotes the intensity of the competition.


Again from the big level, the strength of a country level associated with the development of sports is great, the country became strong, rich people, people have more time for more financial resources to participate in sports, the distant high-rise, the significance of the development of the country people to people, just can have more people to participate in the sports of the OARS, and more, hanging on the sky of the cloud and reveals the opportunities of social development and competition.


There is no shortage of beauty in the appearance of the judge's boat in the bottom right corner of the picture, which to some extent weakens the audience's central focus on this work. The audience will pay attention to what the picture in the bottom right corner is and what the judge is doing.

Near the end of 25 kilometers of the shore, we found a cave, I quickly went into the rain to rest, and took out the camera for shooting.
