CREATING AN IMAGE

This picture (I named it Golden Time) was taken late spring this year by the Harrison Lake. It is in front of Harrison Hot Spring Resort & Spa. Using my Sony digital with 15x optical zoom, I did not think about the rule of thirds when shooting, but it seemed the rule works. However, I did think about the composition that time, so I preset the depth of field into three parts. The first one was the daffodil, which was right before my camera; then I put the old couple in the mid shot; the background I set was the water merging with mountains. I purposely set the couple on the left side of photo because they were overlooking to the right side, which, I think, will balance the composition. These were all I had in mind when I shot. I like this picture, and I think I captured the sweet moment of happiness. The only problem is this photo is over-exposed.
