This photo was taken at the cosmos field in Hongo (Tokorozawa), using the shadows cast along the paths through the flower field as a backdrop to make the beautifully shaped cosmos flowers appear to float. By emphasizing the contrast between the dark background and the light-bathed flowers, I highlighted the cosmos’s vivid colors and the shape of their petals, creating a striking portrait of these autumn blooms.
