The ancient lotus village's background is blurred to make the flowers stand out

This photograph was taken at Ancient Lotus Village, using a composition that blurs the background lotus flowers slightly while emphasizing the foreground bloom. The balance of light and color that ancient lotus displays, shifting with the time of day, lends depth and narrative quality to landscape photography. Its true value is especially felt in the early morning.
