Using leading lines in composition, the natural curve of the river on the right guides the viewer’s gaze to the person holding the flag on the left, enhancing the sense of depth. The shot is taken from an overhead angle, capturing the foreground rocks and the crowd enjoying the view, the steep mountains in the middle ground, and the river and buildings in the distance, adding richness to the layers.

Additional tip: The light is better on sunny days, making for better photos.
