An autumn scene at Showa Memorial Park, featuring round, crimson kochia plants, a path, and Himalayan cedars standing in the background

This photo was taken at the Showa Memorial Park, a national park, and features fluffy, crimson kochia, a path, and a Himalayan cedar tree standing in the background. I sought to capture the vivid colors unique to the fall foliage season and the park’s lush natural scenery, while paying close attention to the charming, round shape of the kochia and the sense of depth created by the path leading into the distance.
