In this photograph of a field of rape blossoms, I emphasized perspective by focusing on the back of the field while blurring the foreground. I was conscious of giving the impression that the expanse of yellow flowers continues to the back. With the arrival of spring, rape blossoms spread all over the Hama Rikyu Gardens. The view of yellow flowers swaying in the wind against the backdrop of the city's high-rise buildings is a scene unique to this location. Compositions with the flowers as the main subject and low angles in the expansive flower garden look great.
