The photographer stands on the pasqueflower pathway, shooting from a low angle at eye level, with the lens close to the pasqueflowers to highlight the foreground bokeh effect. The composition uses layered framing, with the foreground featuring blurred pasqueflowers, the midground showing clear purple flowers, and the background naturally transitioning to other colorful flowers, adding depth to the image. A 50mm focal length (2x on a phone) is used to create a shallow depth of field, making the foreground blur softer and the subject more prominent.
