The photographer uses a low-angle shot with the red wall as the main background, incorporating the ancient architectural roof and leaves on both sides to add a sense of depth to the environment. A central composition is employed, placing the "Lama Temple" plaque and the smaller "Yonghegong Street 28" sign in the center of the frame to highlight the subject. It is recommended to use a medium to long focal length/3x zoom on a smartphone to ensure the plaque's text is clear and to avoid interference from surrounding clutter.
