Use a low-angle, flat shot with the water surface as the foreground to enhance the sense of balance and depth in the image through the reflection on the water. Place the subject in the center of the frame for a symmetrical composition that highlights the main subject. The view should include the water surface, distant mountains, and clouds in the sky. It is recommended to use a wide-angle lens to capture the expansive environment. 
Travel tip: It is suggested to shoot during sunset.
