Take a low-angle shot from directly below the drum tower, pointing upward to highlight the eaves' upturned corners and the spire's pointed structure. Use symmetrical composition, place the tower's spire at the center of the frame, and have the eaves spread symmetrically on both sides to enhance the sense of solemnity. Include details of the tiles in the foreground, keep the dark night sky as the background, and add leaves on the right to increase the sense of depth.
