The photographer uses a low-angle shot with the red ancient architecture as the foreground, and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda as the mid-to-background, creating a sense of depth through the composition. The frame should encompass the entirety of the red building, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the snow-covered trees on both sides, capturing the naturally falling snowflakes to enhance the atmosphere. Additional tip: The east gate of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which is usually closed, presents a stunning scene of the pagoda, the red gate, and the snow.
