The photographer uses a level angle and leading lines to balance the composition. The alley street serves as the leading line, extending the depth and enhancing the sense of space. A large tree is included in the foreground on the left, while traditional buildings are retained in the background on both sides. It is recommended to use a wide-angle lens or the 1x setting on a smartphone to capture dynamic moments of people riding bicycles, adding a touch of everyday life.
