Use a bird's-eye view to ensure the water surface is the background and to avoid distracting elements. Zoom in on the water lilies to highlight the details and texture of the flowers while maintaining depth in the composition. Employ a central composition by placing the center of the water lily slightly below the middle of the frame, and include some lotus leaves around it to balance the composition and create a natural atmosphere. Shoot during sunny conditions to enhance the shine and vibrancy of the petals. Travel Tip: The best time to admire the lotus is early in the morning or during the morning hours!
