Stand on the wooden boardwalk by the lake, using the railing on the left as a leading line, extending from the lower left corner to the center of the frame, naturally guiding the viewer’s eye to the lake and distant mountains. The composition should include the wooden boardwalk in the foreground, the shimmering lake in the middle ground, and the layered mountains and blue sky in the background, enhancing the depth of the scene.

Additional tips: Wear comfortable shoes, as there is a lot of walking within the scenic area.
