The photographer stands at the entrance of the hutong, near the wall covered with roses on the right. Using the rule of thirds, the rose wall occupies the right one-third of the frame. On the left, a utility pole and tree canopy extend into the sky, creating a balanced composition and adding depth to the image. The rose wall serves as the main foreground, while the background includes the utility pole, tree canopy, and distant street scenes, evoking a strong sense of hutong life. Additional tip: The shot works best on a clear day.
