S T E E P

The concept of "still" can be applied to depict a structure that is located in a calm or still body of water. The stillness of the water could be emphasized by using a long exposure, which would blur the water and create a sense of calmness, peace or tranquility.

The stillness of the water could also be used to create a sense of meditation or contemplation.
