1. Positioning: The photographer stands at a slight distance in front of the iron ball, shooting at eye level.
2. Composition: Use contrasting composition, where the silver reflective iron ball contrasts with the red traditional architecture in terms of color and material, highlighting the iron ball as the main subject; the bare trees contrast with the neat architectural lines.
3. Lens Usage: Use a medium to long focal length lens to blur part of the background, clearly showcasing the reflective details of the iron ball, the texture of the building's windows and doors, and the shape of the trees, making the main subject stand out more distinctly.
