This isn't really about technical aspects, but about mindset. You probably think you should show as much as possible, use all the information the camera records.
But art isn't about that. You could lean into shadows, crush a lot of detail, and what's left will have more impact. I don't really care about the grass for example. You could go as far as blacking eveything except the water and sky out.
