This photo captures the scene of a rapeseed flower field at Hamarikyu Gardens, where I felt the harmony between the city and nature.

This photo was taken with a slight pull-back to consciously capture the overall composition of the buildings, rapeseed flower field, and path. I balanced the shot to convey a sense of depth. At Hamarikyu Gardens, the vast expanse of rapeseed flowers in spring creates a magnificent scene.Against the backdrop of the city's skyscrapers, the sight of vibrant yellow flowers swaying in the breeze possesses a beauty unique to this location. Within the expansive flower field, shooting with an awareness of perspective creates photos with a sense of depth. Utilizing the contrast with the buildings helps create the distinctive atmosphere of nature within the city. Furthermore, capturing the flowers from a low angle makes them appear larger, evoking the feeling of a vast yellow carpet.
