Vertical composition can represent the height and depth of the scene.

Correct.

Vertical line composition refers to the elements with obvious vertical lines in the picture, which can form obvious vertical features in the picture. The vertical lines here are not necessarily straight vertical lines, but visually vertical lines, such as tall and straight branches and tall buildings in cities. Vertical line composition is characterized by seriousness and tranquility, and the vertical component in the picture is heavier than the italic component of the same size, so vertical line composition will reduce the movement of the picture. The scenery shot by vertical line composition generally develops along the up and down direction of the picture. In photography, the purpose of using vertical line composition is mostly to emphasize the height and vertical momentum of the subject and make the direction of composition more clear. For example, when shooting trees, peaks, tall buildings and other scenery, the linear structure in the picture is often treated as the direction of the salty vertical line to fully express the height and depth of the scene. Common images include forests, waterfalls and skyscrapers. From the linear images of these scenes, we can feel the sense of seriousness, solemnity and silence brought by the vertical line composition method, and also enhance the sense of majesty and sublimity.
