It was comforting to see this peaceful stretch of garden. I applied the rule of thirds based on the border of the hedges and bushes in the background, and it forms a shaded rectangle in the center of all the greenery. It feels like I have space to contemplate when I stare into the center point of the rectangle.
Although I used an ISO of 200, higher than necessary for the light setting, the light captured by the shutter was balanced out through using a shutter speed of 1/800. An aperture setting of 3.5 made it possible to create a softened background.
