The photographer stands in front of the door, capturing a high-angle, flat shot using a framing composition. In the frame, white flowers and green plant branches naturally interweave into an arched "frame" that encloses the entrance to the alley. This natural frame draws the viewer's attention to the depth of the alley, enhancing the sense of depth and guiding the viewer's gaze. At the same time, the soft lines of the plants add a romantic and leisurely atmosphere to the frame, which matches the ambiance of the alley's lifestyle. Other tips: pay attention to hydration and sun protection when traveling.
