The photographer uses a low-angle shot, shooting upwards from a low position. Employing foreground composition, the sundial is brought into the foreground, while the midground clearly displays the glazed tiles and ridge beasts of the eaves. The background retains the blue sky to enhance depth. The composition includes the foreground stone decorations, midground eave details, and background blue sky. It is recommended to use a telephoto lens to compress the space and highlight the intricate patterns and ridge beasts of the architecture.
