The photographer used an upward angle to place the main structure of the turret at the center of the frame, with a red flower bed in the foreground to add depth. The background features a clear sky, which helps compress the space and highlight the intricate eaves and pinnacle of the turret, creating a harmonious color contrast with the flowers. The composition is simple yet evokes a sense of classical elegance.
