The photographer should shoot at eye level, close to the stone balustrade, using it as a foreground element to incorporate the detailed carvings. The composition should include the foreground stone balustrade, the incense burner and large vase in the middle ground, and the yellow-roofed buildings and trees in the background, showcasing the layers of the courtyard. Use a wide-angle lens to capture both the overall environment and the intricate details.
