The photographer stands below the eaves to take a shot from a low angle, with the main structure of the building positioned on the right side of the frame. The eave lines extend from the lower right to the upper left, forming a diagonal composition that guides the viewer’s eye to focus on the ridge beasts and roof tile details. The composition includes a partial view of the eaves and a clean sky background, clearly showcasing the intricate carvings and architectural layers.
