Thanks for your kind sharing.
Maybe a bit farther would be better.
Keep some steps away from the bench,
position it at an image's lower right corner,
face to the bay,
put the horizon in the lowest one-fifth part of the image,
make the bay and the sky as the major part of the image,
put the city area around the image's center as a faraway background,
and take a shot.
..mmm...I'm now imagining how I'm feeling when sitting on the bench and seeing the beautiful scenery.
Sorry for my poor English skill, maybe what I typed would make you confused...
