This photograph was taken by focusing on the foreground to emphasize the texture of the cold-blooming red cherry blossoms while still preserving the presence of the Japanese white-eye in the background.By carefully adjusting the focus point, I created a photograph with a sense of depth. During the blooming season of the Kanhi cherry blossoms at Ebara Shrine, Japanese white-eyes visit, flitting among the flowers to sip nectar. The color of the cherry blossoms and the sight of the birds create a spring atmosphere. Additionally, the statue of Ebisu within the shrine grounds is revered by people praying for prosperous business.
