This photograph captures cherry blossom petals illuminated by light. I focused on conveying the petals' translucency and delicate hues. When the Kawazu cherry blossoms along the Old Nakagawa River reach their peak, they create a beautiful collaboration with the Tokyo Skytree. Framing the blossoms with the branches and composing the shot to include both the urban landmark and the seasonal flowers highlights the quintessential spring scenery. The gentle shifts in color during morning light and dusk are also highlights.
