The photographer stands slightly back in front of the shop and shoots upward to highlight the intricate carvings under the eaves and the sign of the Chinese bookstore. The framing includes the entire facade, the stone lions on both sides, and the lanterns in front of the door. Incorporating leaves in the foreground adds depth and compresses the space, making the architectural details more prominent.
