Using a symmetrical composition, the tiles are arranged symmetrically in the center of the frame to ensure neatness and balance. The photographer stands below the eaves and shoots at eye level, capturing the main body of the tiles, the red wall background, and the play of light and shadow through the leaves, highlighting the dragon pattern details. A medium telephoto lens is recommended to compress the background, enhancing the clarity and texture of the subject.
