This photo captures a beautifully shaped golden cosmos at the Hanaoka Flower Hill Observatory. I focused on the single flower as the main subject and slightly blurred the surrounding blooms to create a sense of depth. I hope you can feel the gentle beauty of nature.Gunma Prefecture's Hanataka Flower Viewing Hill is a popular flower spot where you can enjoy both sunflowers and golden cosmos simultaneously from summer into early autumn. On clear days, low-angle shots of sunflowers against the blue sky and aerial views of the vast blooming fields from the hilltop are especially recommended.Furthermore, compositions featuring early-blooming golden cosmos in the foreground capture the shifting seasons. Since the scenery changes with time of day and weather, visiting at different times allows for a rich variety of photographic experiences.
