Symmetrical composition places the palace at the center of the frame, with its reflection on the glass floor creating a mirror image that enhances the sense of balance in the image. The lines on the glass ground form leading lines that extend from the foreground to the palace, drawing the viewer's attention to the main subject. The scene includes reflections on the glass, the full view of the palace, and clouds in the sky, enriching the image's layers and depth.
