The photographer stands below the red wall and the building, using an upward shooting angle. By raising the camera and looking up, the photographer employs frame-within-a-frame composition, naturally framing the red wall and the roof of the building with the branches above and to the left. This technique enhances the depth and layers of the image. The shot should include the foreground branches, the mid-ground red wall and roof, and the background blue sky, highlighting the details of the ancient architecture and the surrounding atmosphere. Travel Tip: It is recommended to shoot during clear weather with good sunlight.
