Use a frame-within-a-frame composition, with foreground trees naturally forming the frame to highlight the Eastern Gateway and the city skyline in the center of the background. Shoot at eye level to reveal the complete architectural outline through the gaps in the tree branches, and include green vegetation in the foreground to add depth. The scene should encompass trees, low shrubs, and the distant skyline. It is recommended to use a medium to long telephoto lens or the 3x zoom on a smartphone to compress the space and make the main building stand out more.

The photographer uses an upward angle and the rule of thirds composition, placing the Ferris wheel in the right one-third of the frame and the Gate of the East slightly below the center. The left side of the frame is left blank to show the sky, enhancing the balance. The shot includes the sky with clouds, the Ferris wheel, the Gate of the East, and the distant city skyline, highlighting the层次感 of the main subjects and the horizon.

(Note: "层次感" is translated as "sense of层次" in this context, but it's better to use "sense of layering" or "sense of depth" in English.)

1. Shooting Angle: The photographer is positioned at a lower angle, shooting upward at the Ferris wheel.
2. Composition Techniques:
① Use vertical lines in the composition. The spokes and supports of the Ferris wheel form multiple vertical lines, enhancing the depth and height of the image.
② Utilize the edges of buildings as foreground elements, adding layers to the image.
3. Lens Recommendation: Use a wide-angle lens to capture a larger area of the sky and surrounding buildings, emphasizing the size of the Ferris wheel.
