At the ancient lotus village, I felt that "the wax plum in the foreground should be blurred and the background in focus" in this photo.

In this photo, I blurred out the wax plum blossoms in the foreground and focused on the flowers in the background. It is a soft shot that evokes a winter landscape. At the Ancient Lotus Village, wax plum blossoms give off a sweet fragrance as winter arrives, and the yellow flowers gently color the park. The sight of the translucent petals shining against the clear blue sky and the observation tower is a seasonal tradition.
