Using leading lines in composition, the stone paved path extends from the foreground to the central gateway, guiding the viewer's eye to the main subject. The photographer shoots from a straight-on angle, keeping the city wall vertical and straight. The framing includes the gateway, the wall above it, and the blue sky, while retaining the stone path to enhance the sense of depth. It is recommended to use a standard lens to highlight architectural details and spatial layers.
