Using the rule of thirds composition, the model is positioned in the center of the frame, with her back facing the camera and her hands gently resting on the railing, looking out at the lake and distant mountains. The photographer shoots at eye level, capturing the blue sky, distant mountains, the lake, and the foreground railing and wooden floor to add depth. A wide-angle lens is recommended to ensure all background elements are included and the composition is balanced.
