The bridge and pavilion are positioned at the left third of the frame, with the sunset placed at the intersection point in the upper right corner to balance the composition. The scene includes the foreground water, the bridge in the middle ground, the distant mountains in the background, and the sunset, enhancing the sense of depth. It is recommended to use a standard focal length and slightly reduce the exposure compensation when shooting against the light to preserve details in both the sunset and the shadows.
