Lingyin Temple - Yellow Wall and Plum Blossoms

The photographer used a level shot, with the model sitting on a stone bench against a yellow wall, positioned at the right one-third of the frame to balance the subject with the environment. The composition includes the yellow wall, green plants on the left, and the edge of the stone bench, adding depth. The model has her head tilted back, eyes closed, and her hands crossed on her lap, in a natural and relaxed pose. A medium telephoto lens was used to emphasize the contrast between the subject and the background.

Travel Tips: First, buy the Feilai Feng Scenic Area ticket for 45 yuan per person. The Lingyin Temple is inside the scenic area, and the incense offering ticket for Lingyin Temple is 30 yuan per person.
