The photographer chose a high vantage point for a bird's-eye view, using symmetrical composition to place the wind-and-rain bridge at the center of the frame. The bridge and its reflection in the water create a perfect vertical symmetry. The shot includes the full view of the bridge, the reflective water in the foreground, and the distant mountains and buildings in the background, adding depth to the environment. A standard lens was used to clearly capture the structural details and overall layout of the bridge.
