Photo Tip #7 of 20: Check for intruders in your composition. Is there something popping into the picture from the edge or side of the picture? Is there a tree branch, power line, or telephone poll that creeps into the shot stealing attention from the main photography subject?

As a solution I had to move a little bit to the site and recompose the shot in front of a shrub that was further away and sunlit.

Large apertures on the other hand (small f-stop number like f/5.6 and smaller) minimize depth of field.
