The photographer uses a top-down shooting angle and reflective composition, where the reflections of the water lilies and lotus leaves create a symmetrical effect on the water, enhancing the balance of the image. The framing includes the foreground with blooming pink and white water lilies, the mid-ground with lotus leaves and their reflections, and the background with green vegetation to add depth. It is recommended to use a telephoto lens or a smartphone’s 5x zoom to compress the space, highlight the subject, and blur the background clutter. Travel Tips: Admission is 10 yuan.
