Use an upward shooting angle with the model positioned on the left side of the frame, holding an object with both hands while standing straight in a natural pose. Employ a foreground composition with green trees blurred in the foreground to enhance depth. The frame should include the mid-ground figure, the yellow-roofed background, and the blue sky, highlighting the integration of the subject within the traditional setting.
