The photographer stands slightly to the front and side of the subject, shooting at eye level. The subject is positioned at the right one-third of the frame, creating a balanced and harmonious composition. The integration of peach blossoms, the subject, and the stream appears more natural.

The photographer is positioned behind an arched doorway, shooting at eye level. Using a framing technique, the arched doorway frames the subject and the natural landscape. A medium-telephoto lens is used to emphasize the main subject and the foreground forest scenery.

Other tips: Visit the Metasequoia grove in early winter to catch the last hints of autumn in Beijing. Even though many leaves have fallen, the beauty of the Metasequoia grove remains undiminished. Hiking along Cherry Valley, the overlapping Metasequoia trees and interplay of light and shadow make it impossible to resist capturing these beautiful moments! Although winter has arrived, it's truly worth it to see such scenery in Beijing!
