Introduction
'February Diary '25' is a global online photo contest hosted by cizucu, open to any creator registered with cizucu. The contest curates outstanding works from the entries, aiming to discover new talents as a platform and support the community.
This time, the theme was ‘February Diary’.
Diaries are a valuable way to record your life and experiences. Reflecting on them allows you to objectively capture your growth and changes, gaining new insights.
As 2025 quickly passes by, capturing the winter scenery is a fleeting opportunity. We invited submissions of works unique to February, such as warm moments of Valentine's Day, the lingering quiet of winter, or scenes heralding the footsteps of spring.
Now, let's introduce the entries and award-winning works.

The frozen rocks and the stillness of the lake tell the story of February's harsh cold. Mount Fuji, adorned with snow and bathed in light, evokes a magical atmosphere. This beautiful scene captures the quiet and brilliance of nature unique to this season.

In the snow-dusted forest, the gaze of a deer looking straight ahead is striking. By intentionally not focusing on the deer, an unreal and magical atmosphere is accentuated. A mystical moment, as if time has stopped, is captured beautifully.
