The photographer used a level shooting angle, aligning with the base of the building. A centered composition places the spherical glass structure in the middle of the frame, highlighting its unique shape. The shot captures the entire building, with a clean blue sky in the background and the left road, green railing, and some trees in the foreground to add depth, showcasing the grandeur of the building and its environment.

A contrasting composition was employed, where the subject’s dark clothing contrasts with the colors of the surrounding vegetation and the walkway, highlighting the main focus. By compressing the space, the details of the background vegetation and the walkway are clearly presented, while the background is blurred to emphasize the subject.

The photographer stands by the lake, adjusting to a slight upward angle and using the rule of thirds for composition. Place the reflection of the observation deck in the lower third of the frame, ensuring the lake surface presents a perfect mirror effect. The sky should occupy a suitable proportion to fully showcase the colors of the sunset and the layers of clouds. The scene should include the lake, the observation deck, and the distant mountains to create a sense of depth and natural beauty. Pay attention to adjusting the exposure to retain the delicate details of the sunset.
