Winter Bloom
This photo had me feeling like a Nat Geo photographer more than ever before (and all from the comfort of my couch!) I used Yotei's photo mode "glitch" to get the camera close enough to the deer without Atsu's presence disturbing them. From there, it was like real life - waiting for the right moment and simply enjoying the presence of these beautiful, resilient creatures. – David (@spideroftsushima)
Winter is cold and overwhelming, but there will always be something to remind us that hope remains, even if it’s just a small, fragile flower. A gentle reminder that life still blooms, even in hardship. It was truly fun and rewarding for me to create these captures. I often wonder if they’ll be good enough… but then I realize that simplicity still enchants, when it’s made with love and dedication. – Eduarda (@aloyhrz)
As soon as Maelle entered the huge flower field in the Endless Night Sanctuary, a peaceful and tranquil haven untouched by nevrons, I felt as though she was finally allowed to breathe and simply exist as a teenage girl, far removed from the conflict on the continent. – Justine (@clair.oscuro)
