The photographer moves close to the right side of the incense burner and chooses a low angle shot, slightly tilting the camera to avoid a frontal view, adding depth to the composition. Using the rule of thirds, the incense burner occupies the right one-third of the frame, while the left side features lilac flowers in the background to enrich the scene. It is recommended to use a 50mm lens on a camera or the 2x zoom on a phone to highlight the details of the incense burner and soften the background. The framing should include branches of lilac flowers, with the red temple walls and eaves in the background to enhance the structure of the image.
