The photographer uses an upward shooting angle, taking the photo from a low position to capture a portion of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest’s eaves (including tiles, ridge beasts, and the painted decorations below) at the bottom of the frame, with the sky and clouds as the background. The diagonal composition features the eaves’ sloping lines extending from the lower left to the upper right, enhancing the dynamic feel of the image. The framing retains only the portion of the eaves and the sky, avoiding any extraneous elements. Shooting Time: It is recommended to shoot during clear weather with good sunlight.
