Using symmetrical composition, the entrance to the courtyard is placed at the center of the frame, with lanterns and brick wall decorations symmetrically distributed on both sides to enhance the sense of balance. The photographer takes a frontal shot directly at the entrance, capturing details such as the ridge tiles, hanging lanterns on both sides, and the ceramic pots and pumpkin decorations on the steps, while preserving the gray brick wall background to reflect the characteristics of old Beijing courtyards. The focus is on the decorative details, with a blurred background to make the subject clearer. 

Additional tip: Pay attention to sun protection when traveling in the summer.
