The photographer used a low-angle shot, incorporating the leaves on the left to add depth to the composition. Diagonal composition was employed, with the鼓楼's slanting lines directing the viewer's gaze towards the roof's plaque, with the main subject positioned on the right side of the frame. The shot includes a deep blue sky background and partial details of the鼓楼, highlighting the integration of architecture and nature. Additional tips: It is recommended to arrive at the shooting location at sunset to capture the blue hour and also to photograph the night scenery.
