Using the rule of thirds, the model is positioned at the right one-third of the frame to balance the composition. The photographer shoots from a slightly higher angle, looking down, with the model leaning naturally against the railing by the water, relaxed and sideways, her hand lightly resting on the railing for a more natural feel. The scene includes the water, buildings on the opposite shore, and willow trees in the background to add depth and layers to the environment. It is recommended to use a standard focal length to clearly capture the subject and the surrounding scenery.
