A photograph taken at F16 from a diagonal angle above, capturing the connection between the lotus flower and the morning sun's light in backlight.

This photograph was taken at Mizumoto Park, capturing the morning sun streaming through backlighting from above at an angle with an F16 aperture. It was finished to convey the connection between the lotus flowers and the light. Visiting Mizumoto Park's lotus pond in the early summer morning reveals a sea of blooming lotuses, where time flows in a moist air that soothes the soul. Photographs that make the most of light and shadow become truly special.
