This photograph was taken from the front at the Nikko Hana Ichimonme flower show and features a pale pink dahlia with beautifully shaped petals. By focusing on the overlapping petals that spread out regularly from the center to the outer edges and the gentle, pale pink hue, I sought to capture the delicate and elegant beauty unique to dahlias, as well as the splendor of autumn flowers.
