1. Composition technique: The use of foreground composition is evident, with cherry blossoms in the foreground serving as framing elements, placing the subject in the center of the frame, which adds depth and aesthetic appeal to the image while guiding the viewer's gaze towards the main character; there is also a hint of the rule of thirds, with the character roughly positioned in the lower third of the frame, achieving visual balance.

2. Framing scope: It is a medium shot. The image captures the full figure of the person, including their attire and physique, as well as the lakeside boardwalk environment they are in, and the surrounding natural scenery, reflecting the integration of the character with the setting.

3. Positioning angle: It is an eye-level angle. The camera is roughly at the same height as the character, naturally presenting their posture and creating a friendly, authentic visual experience, making the viewer feel as if they are at the scene, sharing the atmosphere with the character.

4. Lens focal length: It is speculated to be a medium to long focal length.
