Use a centered composition with the subject positioned in the middle of the frame, hands resting naturally on the railing by the water. The photographer should stand slightly higher to shoot from an overhead angle, incorporating the drooping willow branches on both sides of the foreground to add depth. In the background, retain the distant lights and the intricate carvings on the railing. Shooting time: It is recommended to shoot at night when the lighting creates a more atmospheric feel.
