This photo was taken at the Nikko Hana Ichimonme festival and shows a cute, bright yellow dahlia from the side. I focused on the three-dimensional shape of the layered petals and the flower’s beautiful outline—which is particularly evident when viewed from the side—to capture the bright, vibrant charm of the dahlia, a popular fall flower.
