Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken at South Harting near Petersfield, Hampshire, England in a children's park. The ducks were out the way for this shot. If you want to have practice taking this shot you might want to check timing for when they bloom. I used a standard lens on a wide-angle setting. Having followed instructions that taking low angle shots would be a good way to take this one so I lay flat on the ground and looked for the best composition I could find. I moved around to different positions just to find the right angle and almost ruined my trousers doing so. It could just as easily have been taken with an iPhone but fortunately, I had my old battered Canon with me. Afterwards, in post-processing I just sharpened the picture and gave a little extra contrast so that the yellow would show up better against the green.Time

It was an opportunistic shot, good job I had my camera with me.Editing
Only a little sharpening which is usually needed for most digital pictures about 15% did it. Also contrasting so the yellow showed up against the green better.In my camera bag
A standard lens and camera body I can't afford more in my circumstances.Feedback
Imagine you are a landscape painter. Think composition
