五盞燭燈掛在月下林間空地

Five warm candle lanterns, each dangling from its own rope, hang from high branches near the top corners of a vertical 3:4 night scene, none lower than the upper quarter of the frame. This is a real photograph of a small clearing in the woods, lit by the moon, taken with a 35mm lens at a standing person's eye level, with fine natural grain. Tall trees ring the space and their trunks keep to the left and right thirds, so the middle stays open from canopy to floor. A level carpet of moss runs uninterrupted from the lower edge back to the distant tree line, broad enough for a person to stand in the center with head and shoulders clearly set against the dark canopy. Cool moonlight tints the mist among the trunks, and each lantern drops a warm amber pool onto the moss beneath it. The lanterns are plain and carry no writing, and the full scene sits inside the frame, with nothing cut off by any edge.
