A Glimpse of Utopia

It is my first time to join a photo contest. I am not really a photography student nor an owner of semi-precious DSLR cameras. I tried my luck in this one, and the prize would really mean something to me <3

"Who never wanted freedom? Our desire to have an ideal society akin to Utopia has gone through a long journey.

We, too, must surpass obstructions and do at least simple things for freedom. I am trying to do my part, what about you?"

The picture and ideas are quite simple. I am not really good at interpreting things >.< Still, I'm hoping for a  positive result ;)

Some sites may be fraud.) I paid by depositing in a bank account and received their booking confirmation.
