Using the rule of thirds, the subject is positioned at the right one-third of the frame, balancing the visual weight. The photographer shoots from an overhead angle, blending the subject harmoniously with the natural environment. The background includes the green leaves of a lotus pond, while the foreground features dangling willow branches to add depth. The model stands naturally, holding a lotus flower and leaves, with a relaxed posture. The background is blurred to highlight the subject and enhance the sense of depth in the image.
