Use a slightly upward angle and employ the trees to create leading lines that guide the viewer's focus to the golden leaves. The frame should include a dense foreground of leaves, robust tree trunks in the midground, and grass and distant buildings in the background to enhance the depth and layering of the image. Additional tips: The ginkgo leaves are currently a brilliant yellow, and every snapshot looks amazing. Highly recommended for a visit and photo opp.
