The photographer should shoot from a flat angle to highlight the three-dimensional effect of the sculpture. Use a composition with foreground and background elements, with the small stone lion in the center and clear in the foreground. The head of the larger stone lion and the red wall with Mao Zedong's portrait should be blurred in the background to enhance the sense of depth. The frame should include the small stone lion in the foreground, the head of the large stone lion in the middle ground, and the red wall with the portrait in the background, preserving environmental elements.
