Using leading lines composition, the meandering Great Wall serves as the main line to guide the viewer’s eye, enhancing the sense of depth in the image. The rule of thirds is applied, with the sky occupying the upper two-thirds of the frame to highlight the vibrant sunset, and the ground elements (the Great Wall, mountains) occupying the lower one-third to balance the composition. A level shooting angle is used, capturing the full panorama of the Great Wall, layered mountains, and complete sunset, with trees in the foreground adding depth. A wide-angle lens is used for the shot.
