A soft photograph of blue maple leaves, taken from the underside of the leaves, on a cloudy early morning at Sagamihara Park

This photo was taken at Sagamihara Park, where I found some blue maple leaves early one cloudy morning and captured them from below, looking up at the undersides of the leaves. I took advantage of the overcast conditions to create a soft, gentle look that highlights the green hues of the blue maple leaves and the way the leaves overlap.
