The photographer used a low-angle shot with a centered composition to place the character “cuàn” on the shadow wall right in the middle of the frame. On the left, a string of red lanterns is included, while on the right, the main trunk and extending branches of an ancient tree are preserved. The background incorporates the roof of an ancient building and distant mountains, adding depth to the scene. It is recommended to use a wide-angle lens to fully capture the shadow wall, red lanterns, ancient tree, and the surrounding ancient village environment, enhancing the sense of depth and atmosphere.
