The model stands under a cherry blossom tree, with the photographer positioned to the side and slightly below, capturing the cherry blossoms against the blue sky to create depth. Using the rule of thirds, the model and cherry blossom branches occupy different sides of the frame to add balance and aesthetic appeal. A medium telephoto lens is used to compress the space, emphasizing the model and the cherry blossoms as the main subjects.

Use a straight-on shooting angle and center composition, placing the large rock in the center of the frame, with orange cosmos flowers naturally surrounding it. Include green trees in the background to create a color contrast. The framing should encompass the rock, flower beds, and part of the green tree background, enhancing the depth of the image while compressing the background to highlight the clarity of the main subject and the environmental atmosphere.

Use leading lines composition to extend the stream from the foreground to the background, guiding the viewer's eye. Shoot at a straight-on angle, incorporating vibrant flowers and stones in the foreground and trees and the evening sky in the background to enhance depth. A medium telephoto lens is recommended, and adjust the exposure compensation appropriately to retain the reflections of the stream and the details of the plant colors.

1. Positioning: The model sits outside the fence, and the photographer stands to the side and slightly in front of the subject, shooting at eye level. 2. Composition: Use foreground composition, with nearby green plants as the background and the model as the foreground, to add depth to the image. 3. Lens Use: Use a standard lens to realistically capture the proportions of the subject and the setting. Shooting Time: Be sure to arrive at the water fir forest before 9:00 AM to have enough time for photos. There are many people, and the mist disappears quickly after the hour. Additional Tips: 1. Fog Time: 9:00-10:00 AM on weekends and holidays; don't miss it. 2. Fog Location: Above the cherry valley reservoir bridge.

The photographer stands in front of the bridge, shooting slightly upward to capture the lake in the foreground, the stone bridge in the midground, and the mountains and trees in the background, creating a layered landscape. The stone bridge is placed in the central area of the frame, with the lake and mountains distributed in the upper and lower regions, giving the composition a sense of depth and spatial layout. In the post-processing, the contrast, brightness, and color balance were adjusted to enhance the atmosphere and highlight the layers and harmony of the garden landscape.
