In terms of composition, use the framing technique with the gourd-shaped doors and windows as the frame, incorporating the potted plants inside to create a visual focus, enhancing the depth and formality of the image. For lens selection, use a medium telephoto lens to compress the space, clearly showcasing the details of the doors and windows and the form of the potted plants while minimizing background distractions.
