Hi Suresh,

One thing that I have learnt over the years is that the best photographs usually have a little bit of chaos to them.

Order within a scene is very predictable and we almost expect to see it on a daily basis. For that reason we do not tend to pay much attention to the ordinary things about us.

To get the attention of an audience you really do need to show them something they do not see everyday; and that's where a little bit of chaos comes into the equation.

Ask yourself, with this scene, what else can I do to make it a little more interesting?

My suggestion would be to take the bike further away from the camera and lay it on its side in the grass. Maybe put the bag next to the bike, but not too close.

Without actually changing the camera angle or the exposure or anything else, you could create a sense of somebody lying their bike on the grass and just taking a walk into the mist.

You could create your own sense of "Picnic at Hanging Rock," a famous Australian movie about some people who disappear while on a picnic.

Cheers,

Anthony
