I PUT THE LEAVES ON THE PATHWAY, BENT DOWN, AND ROSE THE EXPOSURE.

I PRESSED THE SHUTTER ABOVE MY HEAD AND I RAISED THE EXPOSURE AND THE CONTRAST.

I HAD TO MOVE VERY CLOSE TO THE INSECTS AND I CROPPED TO FIT THE RULE OF THIRDS.

I USED A SLOWER SHUTTER SPEED TO GET MOTION BLUR AND RAISED THE CONTRAST.

I TOOK THE PICTURE SO THAT THE HORIZON AND SOIL WERE ON A THIRD. THE EXPOSURE WAS REDUCED TOO

BOTH THE TREE CANOPY AND TRUNK ARE IN THIRDS, AS WELL AS THE PATHWAY.

I WANTED THE SEATS TO BE IN THIRDS AND HAVE THE TABLE IN THE CENTER THIRD.

I TOOK THE CLOSE UP OF THE PICNIC TABLE, KEEPING THE DARK CIRCLES IN THIRDS. I REDUCED SATURATION BECAUSE THE CIRCLES APPEARED VERY GREEN.
