Using the rule of thirds, the subject is placed at the right third of the frame to balance the main body with the background. The photographer uses a low angle to ensure that the subject aligns horizontally with the background elements such as Tiananmen Gate Tower and the national flag. The frame includes the Tiananmen Gate Tower and the fluttering national flag in the background, with the foreground featuring white ornate railings to add depth. The model leans naturally against the railing, with the right hand gently resting on it, adopting a relaxed posture.
