The model is sitting on a bench slightly to the left of the center of the frame, with the right side left blank to include stone steps, flower pots, and a clear blue sky, balancing the composition. The stone walls on both sides of the alley form leading lines, extending from the foreground to distant greenery, enhancing the sense of depth. The photographer shoots from a low angle, capturing the bench, stone-paved road, stone walls on both sides, and orange flowers, evoking the atmosphere of an ancient village. The model is seated naturally, with one hand resting on the bench, feet pointing forward, and a relaxed smile directed at the camera.

Travel Tip: Admission is free.
