Photographing letter lanterns against a background with depth at the Yokohama Lantern Night

This photo was taken at the Yokohama Lantern Night. I focused on a lantern with lettering from a slight distance away, while also paying attention to the depth of field created by the surrounding lanterns. I composed the shot to highlight the interplay between the main lantern and the background.
