This photo was taken at the Nikko Hana Ichimonme event, capturing the moment when light shone on a pink dahlia, making its petals glisten beautifully. By focusing on the colors of the petals and their three-dimensional layering, brought out by soft natural light, I sought to capture the delicate beauty of the flowers blooming in the autumn dahlia garden, as well as the subtle and beautiful atmosphere created by the interplay of light and shadow.
