This photo was taken at the Kiyose Sunflower Festival, focusing on a single flower slightly in the back among countless sunflowers in full bloom. The blur in the foreground complements the main subject in the background, creating an impressive composition. The Kiyose Sunflower Festival is a popular summer-only event held in Kiyose City, Tokyo. The vast fields of sunflowers in full bloom give off an overwhelming presence that makes visitors forget they are in the heart of the city, stimulating all five senses. The sunflowers, bathed in sunlight, are spectacular when captured from a wide angle, but the beauty of the petals that emerge from behind the flowers as the light filters through them is also a sight to behold. The time spent walking among the tall flowers and finding your own unique angle and light is truly immersive. The sunflowers will change their expressions every time you look through the viewfinder, and you will be snapping the shutter like crazy. Advance reservations are required on certain days. *Because of the park's opening hours, early morning and evening visits are not available.
