The photographer positioned themselves at an angle slightly to the side and in front of the crabapple tree, using an upward shooting angle to make the crabapple flowers appear to extend upwards in the frame. The rule of thirds was employed, with the crabapple flowers occupying the lower two-thirds of the image and the city wall occupying the upper one-third. A medium telephoto lens was used to compress the space, emphasizing the layered relationship between the crabapple flowers and the city wall. Additional tips: Entry to the city wall is free, and there is a 1,500-meter-long flower corridor.
