Composition 

Photographs that stand out from the crowd usually have three elements in common.

• Good subject 
• Good lighting 
• Good composition 

Rule of thirds 

Centre of interest: A photographer should have a strong focal point.

Simplicity:Keep compositions simple , avoiding busy background.

Subject of centre: Place a subject slightly off-centre rather than in the middle of the photo.

Leading Lines

If a scene has strong lines , make sure the lines lead the eye into the frame rather than out of it.The lines leads to the mani point of interest. 

Viewpoint/angles 

Vary angles: Shoot at varying angles to capture a subject from a different viewpoint.Move the camera higher or lower than you usually do .

Lighting

Dramatic lighting adds interest to a photo.

Silhouettes:Subject made dark by photographing it against a light background (back lighting)

Framing

Framing a subject by zooming or moving closer draws attention to it.

Symmetry

An identical or near identical image of its other half .Use symmetry often provides a formal balance.
