The photographer stands slightly below the stone stele, using an upward angle. The rule of thirds is applied, placing the stele on the right one-third of the frame, while the red wall building occupies the left side, creating a balanced composition. The shot includes the main stele, the full view of the red wall building, and incorporates the foreground with railings and prayer ribbons. The upper part of the frame retains some foliage to add depth.
