A flat angle shot with the figure standing in front of the incense burner, facing away from the camera, positioned on the left side of the frame as the foreground. Use a layered composition with the background centered on the “Crane’s Call in the Fragrant Sea” plaque. Include smoke and the incense burner in the mid-ground to add depth, highlight the main subject, and preserve the dynamic movement of the smoke. The image should be simple yet evocative. Travel Tip: Admission is 10 RMB.
