By employing foreground composition, the yellow ginkgo leaves in the foreground are brought into the frame and blurred, while the mid and background clearly show the eaves, red pillars, and intricate paintings of the ancient architecture, enhancing the depth of the image. Additional tip: It's best to take photos on a sunny day for the best results.
