This photograph was taken at Ashikaga Flower Park, capturing the reflection of two lovely water lilies blooming side by side on the water's surface. It's a gentle image, as if they were having a quiet conversation. If you want to capture a delicate shot while feeling the coolness of summer, the water lilies at Ashikaga Flower Park are the perfect subject. During the soft morning light, the petals begin to open quietly, creating a scene that calms the viewer's heart. Incorporating the reflections of the flowers on the water's surface and the swaying leaves into your frame allows for photographic expression that captures movement within stillness. The impression can change dramatically depending on the composition: enjoy geometric balance with a straight-down angle, or create depth with a diagonal perspective. It's a spot that holds the charm of offering new discoveries with every shot.
