Using leading lines in the composition, the curved lines of the bridge and the natural extension of the stone lions guide the viewer's eye to the distant ancient buildings, enhancing the sense of depth. The camera is positioned on the bridge, facing the direction of the bridge’s extension. The frame includes the stone lions in the foreground on the left, the arched bridge in the midground, and the ancient buildings and sky in the background, creating a rich sense of layers. It is recommended to use a telephoto lens to compress the space, highlighting the overall structure of the bridge and the details in the distance.
