This photo captures a steam locomotive from a slightly closer vantage point within a field of blooming rapeseed flowers. I believe it strikes just the right balance, showcasing both the train's presence and the vividness of the flowers.At Moka City's popular photography spot known as the "SL, Cherry Blossoms, and Rapeseed Flower Road," spring brings rapeseed flowers blooming profusely along the roadside, offering the sight of a steam locomotive racing through them. The powerful advance of the SL and the softly spreading yellow rapeseed flowers create a contrast truly unique to spring. If you time your shot perfectly to catch the SL, you're sure to capture a picture brimming with seasonal feeling.
