Lokhu kujula kwenkambu okungajulile kuhlukanisa amakhoni amaphakathi njengendawo egxilile engenaphutha, kuyilapho ingemuva lincibilika libe i-bokeh enokhilimu yokukhanya okusagolide-okuluhlaza. Ingemuva elilufifi liphakamisa ngobuqili inkundla ye-hop eminyene egezwa ilanga lantambama, nokho ukushoda kwayo kwemininingwane kuqinisekisa ukuthi ayiqhudelani ngokunakwa ngesihloko esingaphambili.

Isimo sesimo sesithombe sidlulisa ukuthandeka kwe-rustic, ukunotha kwezitshalo, kanye nobuqiniso bobuciko.
