Close-up of lotus flowers in Mizumoto Park lit by the morning sun taken at f/2.8

In this photo, I shot a lotus flower illuminated by the morning sun at Mizumoto Park at f/2.8 and softly blurred the background to enhance the subject's presence. In Mizumoto Park in the early morning, lotus flowers quietly begin to bloom in the gentle light. This is a recommended spot to take advantage of the angle of the sun and the softness of the light to capture a fantastic shot.
