This photo was taken at sunset with a single tree standing on the bank as the main subject. In order to enhance the beauty of the expansive sky, I tried to make the sky occupy about two-thirds of the composition. The beautiful sunset covered the entire sky, creating an impressive shot. On the banks of the Arakawa River, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery that spreads out at dusk in summer. However, the movement of clouds in summer is very unstable from day to day, and it is sometimes difficult to capture the beautiful sunsets that you envision. Still, if you are lucky, you will be able to see the moment when the clouds dissipate just right and the entire sky is beautifully tinted. On this particular day, the conditions were particularly favorable, and I was able to capture the view of a vivid sunset in my photographs. When photographing the scene, I tried to compose my shot to take advantage of the expansive landscape of the Arakawa river bank. By placing the trees on the right edge of the image for balance and the sun in the center, the gradation of light created by the setting sun stands out and gives the entire photo depth and a sense of realism.
