This photo was taken at Nikko Hana Ichimonme and captures beautiful pink and white dahlias blooming as if reaching toward the sky. By focusing on the graceful, upward-reaching posture of the flowers and the soft combination of pink and white hues, I sought to convey the charm of the flowers blooming in the autumn dahlia garden, as well as its bright and refreshing atmosphere.
