The composition includes the Moon Bridge, the moat, autumnal ginkgo trees on both sides, the background city walls, and distant urban buildings, enriching the visual layers. 

Additional suggestions: It is recommended to shoot on a sunny day to ensure ample light, improving the transparency of the image.

Use a drone with a 3x medium focal length to capture the shot of the ginkgo trees and the Moon Bridge in the same frame by ascending and panning through the golden ginkgo trees. Be mindful of the surrounding branches to ensure safe flight. Additional tip: Take photos when the weather is good for better results.

Huancheng Xiyuan Park – Aerial Moon Bridge & Ginkgo Trees

Use the frame composition technique, with the ginkgo trees on both sides as the natural frame, and the branches and leaves extending towards the center to create a sense of enclosure, highlighting the Xi'an city wall tower in the center of the image. The photographer should use a low-angle shot looking up to showcase the grandeur of the trees and the vastness of the sky. The composition should include the foreground with golden and green ginkgo leaves, the midground with green plants in the square, and the background with the city tower, enhancing the sense of depth. Include more environmental elements to highlight the integration of autumn scenery and ancient architecture.

Additional suggestion: It's easier to get good shots during the day when there's plenty of light.
