Use a low-angle shot, stand in front of the temple gate, ensuring that the steps, door, and eaves are on the same horizontal line. Use foreground composition, and include snow-covered branches on the left to add depth. The main subject should be the central door and steps, while retaining details of the snow on the eaves. The frame should include the main structure of the building, lattice windows, and foreground branches. A medium to long focal length lens is recommended to emphasize the atmosphere of the ancient architecture in winter.
