The subject is positioned in the lower center of the frame, creating a spatial dialogue with the background gate. A symmetrical composition is used, with the gate's crack serving as the central axis, and the doors and door knockers are symmetrically distributed on both sides, enhancing the stability of the image. A standard lens is employed, which accurately reproduces the proportional relationships of the scene, allowing the image to exhibit a natural sense of space and perspective.
