This photograph was taken at the Nikko Hana Ichimonme event, capturing a bird’s-eye view of the entire dahlia garden, where countless dahlias stretch out before the camera. By focusing on the vibrant expanse of color created by the multicolored flowers and the sense of depth generated by the arrangement of the flower beds, I sought to capture the magnificent and spectacular scenery unique to a dahlia garden in the fall.
