I centered this shot on the gate and the pathway as the sun was setting. I used a high aperture of 4.0 and a shutter speed of 1/60. I wanted to be able to catch as much of the coloring on the plants around the path without overexposing the photo. I used ISO 400 because I wanted less noise. I used the auto white balance setting because I wasn't sure which one to use with so much light from the sun.

 

Post-processing, I reduced the brightness of the image and increased the yellow, purple, and magenta saturation in order for the flowers to contrast with the opposing bushes.
