Using a reflection composition with the lake surface as the axis of symmetry, the real scene of the trees on the shore and their reflections in the water are evenly distributed, each taking up about half of the frame. The photographer stands at the edge of the lake and shoots at a level height with the water, ensuring that the reflection is complete and clear. The frame includes the tree trunks and branches on the shore, the calm lake surface, and the grayish-white sky above, emphasizing a tranquil atmosphere.
