From a vantage point perspective, the photographer chose a lower angle to shoot upwards at the subject, making the person appear taller and creating a harmonious frame with the background trees and lake. In terms of composition, it is recommended to use a frame-within-a-frame technique, utilizing branches at the top and sides of the image to form a natural frame around the subject, highlighting the main figure and adding depth to the picture. A medium telephoto lens is recommended for shooting, as this type of lens can compress the space, making the background lake and trees appear more compact and thus better supporting the main subject. Admission: No ticket required, but advance reservation is needed through the official account.
