In this photo, I made the lotus leaf the main subject and blurred the surrounding area to highlight the texture and presence of the leaf. I made it look simple yet impressive. Honjo Comprehensive Park is widely known as a place where the beauty of nature can be enjoyed throughout the four seasons. In summer, the lotus flowers blooming in the pond attract particular attention and fascinate visitors with their graceful appearance. The lotus flowers floating in the quiet expanse of the pond are exquisitely balanced by the translucent soft petals and bright green leaves, giving visitors a sense of peace and tranquility. If you visit early in the morning, you can closely observe the flowers as they begin to open in the quiet air and fully appreciate the mysterious spectacle that nature has created.
