Your Point of View
'Your Point of View' is a global online photo contest hosted by cizucu, open to all creators registered on the platform. The contest aims to curate outstanding submissions, discover new talents, and support the community.
The theme for this contest is 'Your Perspective.'
Capture the unique scenes that only you can see through your lens. Ordinary moments or fleeting sights can become one-of-a-kind worlds when framed through your perspective.
Even in the same place and at the same time, what people feel and see differs from person to person. Photos reflect the unique perspective and emotions of the photographer.
Show us the world only you can see. We look forward to your submissions.

Running Figure

A vast plaza reflecting Heijō Palace and a running figure, captured from a bird's-eye view. The framing and expression evoke a sense of fleeting beauty. Amid the expansive scenery, the interplay of human movement and structural elements creates a quiet yet powerful impression.

Festivals Through Time
Decades have passed, and now
It feels like the future
Yet the interactions between adults and children remain unchanged
The way we learn hasn't changed either
Kindness and compassion will last forever.

The photo, taken from an unusual height, evokes a sense of nostalgia. The warmth and charm of human interaction in this moment bring back childhood memories. The gentle hands and small treasures in the frame seem to linger in one's heart, even now.

Change Your Perspective.

This photo offers a perspective rarely seen. By lowering the viewpoint close to the ground, the familiar cityscape reveals an entirely different expression. The footsteps, vibrations, and passing speeds are conveyed with a heightened sense of intensity.

A bitten strawberry and its gently plucked stem. Within this simple frame lies the beauty of the act of eating and the flow of time spent mindfully. The interplay of light and shadow, along with the subtle movements of the hand, quietly tells a story.

A swing hanging in the shade of a tree, enveloped by gentle laughter. The sunlight and air feel soft, and time seems to flow a little slower. Your perspective captures not just the scene but also the sensations and atmosphere, as if viewing a fragment of memory.
