This photo was taken at the National Alps Azumino Park and captures a vast field of sunflowers blooming across the park’s expansive grounds. I composed the shot to include as much of this quintessentially summery scene—with sunflowers stretching as far as the eye can see—as possible, in order to convey the unique sense of scale that is characteristic of the National Alps Azumino Park.
