Using a frame-within-a-frame composition, the arched passageway serves as the foreground frame, highlighting the intricately carved details at the top. The model is positioned at the right one-third of the frame, sitting sideways on the stone steps against the wall, with her hand resting lightly on her leg, adopting a natural and relaxed pose. The shot is taken from a straight-on angle, with the background incorporating ancient architectural doors and greenery to add depth and layers. The foreground arch edges are blurred to enhance the sense of depth.
