Rainbow Umbrella and Lemon Bright Cosmos in the foreground, shot from a low angle looking up at Showa Memorial National Park

This photograph was taken at Showa Kinen National Park, looking up at a rainbow umbrella within the Lemon Bright Cosmos field from a slightly lower angle. By blurring the cosmos in the foreground and focusing on the umbrella, a three-dimensional composition with depth was achieved. Showa Kinen National Park (Tachikawa City and Akishima City, Tokyo) is an oasis in the metropolitan area, surrounded by nature and flowers.Spanning over 180 hectares, the park offers stunning seasonal views: tulips and cherry blossoms in spring, fresh greenery and poppies in summer, and cosmos along ginkgo tree-lined paths in autumn. The Lemon Bright Cosmos field in autumn is especially a must-see. The contrast between the sea of yellow and the blue sky is beautiful, making it a popular photo spot.
