Using frame-within-a-frame composition, the photographer captures the scene with the镂空 (latticed) windows of the architectural corridor as the foreground frame, highlighting the figure in the center and the yellow-glazed tile palace in the background, enhancing the depth of the image. The photographer uses a level angle, with the model standing sideways and naturally leaning against the window frame. The composition must include the window frame, the figure, and the full view of the distant palace.
