At F20, I focused on depth, capturing the lotus pond and flowers at Mizumoto Park through the gaps between the trees.

This photograph was taken at Mizumoto Park, set to F20 to give depth to the entire lotus pond scene while focusing on the lotus flowers in the foreground, framed through the trees. The beauty of lotus flowers lies in the balance of stillness and light. At Mizumoto Park, the soft light just after sunrise gently illuminates the lotus petals, creating the perfect moment for photography.
