Using a frame-within-a-frame composition, the photographer can use the overlapping branches at the top as a natural foreground frame to highlight the corner tower and moat in the middle. Combining this with a reflection composition, capturing the clear reflection of the tower on the water surface can enhance the sense of balance. The photographer should stand by the river, facing the tower, and use a level shooting angle to include the foreground branches, the middle water and stone railing, and the background tower.
