The photographer is positioned in front of the trees, shooting at eye level. The composition follows the rule of thirds, with yellow leaves occupying the upper part of the frame and green vegetation in the lower third. The tree trunk is placed on the right side of the image. It is recommended to use a medium telephoto lens to compress the space, highlighting the main subject (the tree) and blurring the foreground to create depth. Travel Tip: It is best to visit and shoot during the fall when the leaves of the white poplar turn yellow, creating a more atmospheric scene.
