Using a centered composition, place the stone stele and its inscription, along with the emblem above it, in the center of the frame to ensure the information is complete. The photographer should stand slightly below the stele and use an upward angle to highlight its solemnity. Include green lotus leaves in the foreground to add depth, and incorporate the shaped greenery (deer and horse) on both sides of the stele in the background to enrich the scene. Ensure the main subject is clear while balancing the foreground and background elements.
