The photographer maintains a level shooting angle, standing about 3-5 meters in front of the corner tower. Hold the toy close to the lens, positioning it in the lower left corner of the frame, with the corner tower located at the right one-third of the frame. Use foreground composition, placing the toy in the foreground to highlight the corner tower and cherry blossom trees in the background, creating depth. The framing should include the full view of the corner tower and the cherry blossom trees in the background, with the toy occupying the lower left corner of the frame, adding a touch of fun and thematic resonance. Travel Tips: Visit on a weekday to avoid peak crowds.
