Using the geometric framework of the floral window, position the branches of the red plum blossoms in the center opening to create layers and enhance the unique beauty of the Jiangnan garden. The foreground should be the floral window, and the background should include the red plum blossoms and the wall, with additional yellow compositional elements outside the window frame to enrich the color palette. It is recommended to use a focal length of 35mm-50mm (1x-2x on a phone) to avoid distortion and highlight the details of the red plum blossoms and the window.
