Use a frame-within-a-frame composition, with the palace gate as the foreground frame to highlight the main palace in the center of the image. Shoot from a level angle, incorporating fallen leaves on the ground in the foreground and including autumn trees and falling yellow leaves in the background to enhance the sense of depth and seasonal atmosphere. A wide-angle lens is recommended.
