The photographer stands at a high point of the temple, using a level shooting angle. With the upturned roof corners, carved tiles, and red walls as the foreground, the background incorporates the rolling mountains, enhancing the sense of depth through foreground composition. The framing includes details of the roof, red walls, and the mountain backdrop, while retaining some sky to add transparency. It is recommended to use a standard focal length lens to ensure clear details of the ancient architecture in the foreground and a balanced sense of depth in the background mountains.
