Using a low-angle shot, the photographer stands slightly below the sculpture in front, highlighting the grandeur of the sculpture. Employ the rule of thirds, placing the main body of the sculpture slightly to the right in the frame to enhance the balance of the image. Keep the blue sky background and some trees on the right side to add depth to the environment. Travel tip: It's recommended to take photos during clear weather and when the sunlight is good.
