Using the rule of thirds, place the main wooden lattice bookshelf in the right two-thirds of the frame, while keeping the paper window and the light coming through on the left side. This will balance the composition and enhance the contrast of light and shadow. The framing should include the full view of the bookshelf and the left paper window, highlighting the intricate carvings of the bookshelf and the natural light ambiance.
