Use a low angle with a shallow depth of field to blur the foreground featuring yellow chrysanthemums, while keeping the midground in sharp focus to showcase chrysanthemums of various colors. The background should include out-of-focus green plants to add depth and layers to the image. This composition emphasizes the depth of the scene, making the vibrant colors and details of the midground chrysanthemums the visual focal point. Additional tips: 1. It’s best to shoot on a clear day for better light and atmosphere. 2. Be mindful of mosquitoes and other insects.
