In this shot I have focused on the grass reeds in front of St Ildephonsus’ College and managed the depth of field to have the building slightly out of focus. I've deliberately anchored the building at the bottom of the frame to make the reeds stand out against the blue sky.
It is taken with a Sony A7III and a 24-240mm zoom and the camera settings were: ISO 200, 1/640 second shutter speed, and f/13 aperture.

This shot uses the classic rule of thirds composition rule. With the grid enabled on my camera's viewfinder as a guide, I have placed the valve tower where the left hand vertical line and bottom horizontal line meet to create a pleasant composition. I have deliberately left lots of space on the right to show the body of water and I like how the sun reflects on the surface.
The pic was taken with my Sony A7III and a 24-240mm zoom at 35 mm. The camera settings were: ISO 200, 1/400 sec shutter speed, and f/11 aperture.
