This photo was taken during an afternoon visit to the sunflower field at Ushijima Furukawa Park. I stood on a hill near the entrance from where I could see the entire field and captured the expansive view of sunflowers in one shot. The soft afternoon sunlight gently enhanced the yellow of the flowers. If you go there to take pictures of summer scenery, you should definitely visit the sunflower field in Ushijima Furukawa Park, where sunflowers bloom all over the spacious grounds during the best season, creating a "yellow carpet" of scenery. The charm of this place is that it offers different expressions at different times of the day, such as soft light in the morning and strong sunlight in the afternoon, and of course, you can enjoy a wide variety of compositions looking out over the whole area from the hill, backlit shots looking up from below, and transmitted light with the sun in the background.
