Dishui Lake - Scandinavian Cottage Nook

From the shooting angle, the photographer is positioned at a low angle, looking up to capture the subject and the sky with the grass as the foreground. The composition uses the rule of thirds, placing the subject in the lower-middle part of the frame, with the sky occupying a larger portion to create visual balance. The grass in the foreground adds depth to the image. A wide-angle lens is used to incorporate a vast sky and expansive grass, enhancing the sense of space and openness.
