1. Position: The photographer stands at a side angle to the dragon turtle sculpture, shooting from an eye-level perspective. 2. Composition: Contrast is used, with the bronze color of the dragon turtle sculpture contrasting against the white stone pillars and blue sky. The rule of thirds is applied, placing the dragon turtle in the left one-third of the frame, while the background buildings and sky occupy the remaining two-thirds. 3. Lens Usage: A medium telephoto lens is used to compress the space, clearly showing the details of the dragon turtle sculpture while naturally presenting the background elements.
