The model is positioned in the center of the frame, using a central composition. The arch naturally forms a frame around the figure, highlighting the integration of the subject with the architecture. The shot includes the full view of the arched door, the golden plaque above it, and the vertical sign on the right that reads "TanZhe Temple," while retaining the brick wall in the background. The model’s hands are naturally clasped together, enhancing the sense of interaction.

Shooting Time: It is recommended to shoot during clear weather with good daylight.
