This photograph captures a white heron in a rice field in Saitama Prefecture. A vast expanse of vivid green rice plants. Amidst them, a single white heron stands poised. Its form displays a beauty reminiscent of a painting.Green and white—a simple yet strikingly impressive color contrast, a perfect balance created by nature. Summer, especially, is the season when the rice takes on its deepest hue, making the egret's pure white stand out even more. Rice swaying in the wind and the white egret standing still. This contrast of slight movement also adds depth to the photograph.
