The photographer uses an upward shooting angle, capturing the ancient roof tiles to add depth, with the Zifeng Tower prominently centered in the frame. The composition includes the foreground of dark roof tiles, mid-ground of green trees, and the distant Zifeng Tower against the blue sky, creating a contrast between old and new. A medium telephoto lens is recommended to compress the space and make the elements more compact.
