This photograph was taken with the focus on the cherry tree in the foreground, while consciously capturing the flow of the river stretching into the distance. It expresses a sense of depth, allowing the viewer to feel the landscape extending further back. The Kawazu cherry blossoms at the former Nakagawa Riverside Park add color to the urban scenery alongside the Tokyo Skytree. The cherry blossoms, blooming quietly alongside the river's flow, lend a softness to the cityscape. By carefully composing the shot to frame the Skytree through the cherry blossoms, you can capture a quintessentially spring-like photograph.
