The subject is positioned at one-third of the frame from the right side, with the photographer capturing at eye level to highlight a devout posture. In the composition, include the foreground with an incense burner and the curling smoke, the middle ground with the figure naturally kneeling in worship with hands clasped, and maintain the trees and temple architecture in the background to enhance the sense of depth. Blur the background crowd to focus on the main subject and the atmosphere of prayer.
