Use an upward angle to make the Maneki-neko statue stand out against the blue sky. Employ a centered composition to place the two embracing Maneki-neko in the middle of the frame, ensuring the main subject is complete. Include the wooden roof in the foreground and pink flowers in the lower left corner to add depth, while keeping the background a clear blue sky. It’s recommended to use a telephoto lens to compress the background and highlight the details of the sculpture.

Using a symmetrical composition, the dove coops on both sides mirror each other, with clear layers from top to bottom. The doves naturally perch on the top and edges of the cage bars, forming a focal point. The photographer uses an upward shooting angle, capturing the scene from below the dove coops to highlight the vertical depth. The frame includes multiple layers of wooden dove coops and the perched doves, while retaining details of the roof above. A medium-telephoto lens is used to compress the space, emphasizing the texture of the dove coops and the postures of the doves.

Additional tip: The hutongs still house old residents, so please take photos quietly and avoid disturbing them.
