Using a frame-within-a-frame composition, the photographer positions the stone archway of the stone arch as a natural frame, placing the "Lugou Moonrise" stele at the center of the image. The shot is taken from a low angle to emphasize the intricate carvings of the archway and the three-dimensional quality of the stele. The framing includes the top of the archway, the full view of the stele, and the ancient buildings in the distance. A portion of the sky is left at the top of the image, preserving the depth and layering of the frame and the main subject.
