The photographer, positioned at a high-rise building, captures the scene from a slightly lowered angle, using a central composition to place the large sculpture in the foreground at the center of the frame, drawing the viewer's attention and becoming the focal point of the image. Additionally, sculptures in the green space in the distance echo and complement the main subject. Other tips: At He Zun Square, one can take individual photos of the He Zun and the sculptures, or use He Zun as a foreground to capture the stone carvings. The front and side angles are both suitable for shooting, and a wide-angle lens can capture the entire scene.
