Using a frame-within-a-frame composition, the eaves of an ancient building (including ridge beasts and tile details) serve as the foreground frame, highlighting the background Ferris wheel. The photographer shoots from a low angle to ensure the eaves are fully visible and do not obscure the main subject of the Ferris wheel. The composition includes the eaves in the foreground, the Ferris wheel, and a portion of the blue sky, creating a contrast between old and new.
