This photo was taken at the Akeno Sunflower Festival, focusing on the sunflower in the center and softly blurring the foreground and background. I aimed to capture the three-dimensional expression of the flower.Sunflowers swaying in the breeze line up like an audience on a summer stage. The Akeno Sunflower Festival is where you can encounter such a scene. The contrast woven by the vivid yellow and the clear blue sky is a beauty beyond words. It's a sunflower paradise that fulfills everything—memories with family, smiles with friends, and works captured by your camera.
