The photographer stands at the edge of the lotus pond, choosing a low angle to shoot from above, positioning the lotus flowers at the center of the frame while the ancient buildings in the background are blurred. In the foreground composition, the lotus flowers occupy the lower part of the frame, while the blurred ancient buildings in the background add depth and atmosphere to the scene. Using a 120mm focal length lens, the photographer compresses the main subject, the lotus flowers, and the background buildings into the same frame, emphasizing the details and spatial relationship.

Additional tip: Summer is the perfect time to capture the beauty of a pond full of lotus flowers.
