■Judges' comments

The symmetrical performance of high-altitude overhead shooting, the profound communication of environmental issues, and the prominent problems in the orderly form composition and strong picture contrast, reflect the innovative integration of theme and image. Recently, it has become the norm to use drones to overhead to express the structure and form of things, to catch people's attention with grand structures, to dazzle people with diverse colors, and to chase superficial forms. The theme breaks through these norms and conveys a deep reflection on environmental issues. In the case of drone shooting, the topic selection is new and in-depth, and the difficulty of finding and shooting reflects a certain degree of difficulty, showing the author's discovery of problems and exploration of the world. The picture pays attention to the composition of points, lines, and surfaces, and shoots at noon on a sunny day to show the layered details and clearly express the texture. The dichotomy of different landscapes highlights the contrast, which makes people feel that it is urgent to govern the environment and protect the ecology. ● Zhao Hao
