Using a reflection composition, the photographer utilizes a glass platform on the ground to reflect the building, enhancing the balance of the image. Standing in front of the glass platform at a low angle, the photographer captures the building’s roof and the “Respect Heaven” plaque in detail. The framing includes the main structure of the building, the stone railings on both sides, and the leaves on the left side. The background retains the overcast sky, adding depth and richness to the layers, ensuring that the entire building and its surrounding elements are fully presented.
