The 51st. WHA Haiga Contest i12/2007)

Judge and comments by Kuniharu Shimizu

Overall comment from the judge: This contest is the last one for the year 2007. I would like to thank those who took parts in this and the previous contests. I am glad that the quality of haiga submitted is getting better. As we move ahead, though, I would like to see more improvements, especially in photo-haiga. Comparing to illustrated haiga, photo haiga seems easier to make, but it actually is not. Remember that I am looking for the work of photography in which artistic care is evident.

Happy New Year to you all!
