The photographer stands parallel to the front of the subject, slightly退后 ( Retreat a bit ), and captures the scene from an eye-level perspective. This approach not only shows the subject’s natural posture but also fully presents the symmetrical structure of the red door frame. Using the door frame as a frame, the subject is placed within it, highlighting the main focus and enhancing the depth and formal beauty of the image.

The photographer captures the shot from a side-up angle to showcase the layers and details of the roof. At the same time, color contrast is used to enhance the visual impact, with the eaves and red walls arranged in layers, adding depth and stability to the image. The red walls, green roof, and blue eaves are retained to highlight the color contrast, while capturing the falling snow adds a sense of movement.
