14. Composition

15. Rule of thirds Simply put, you draw 2 imaginary lines (both horizontal and vertical) at equal distances from each other essentially dividing your image into thirds, hence the rule of thirds. Basically, the rule is based on the theory that the eye is naturally drawn to those "thirds" and the points at each intersecting line.

17. Leading lines Use leading lines to: Create depth, Focus on subject and making the image more dynamic - Leading the viewer to the main subject of your image

18. Framing Use natural or man-made frames to define the edges of the image and draw out the subject

19. Golden Triangle Why is it called a Golden Triangle? The answer is simple, it effectively uses the same golden ratio used in Rule of thirds. In fact, if you superimpose the guide for a rule of thirds with this one, you will see that the intersections in the Golden Triangle fall on the same spots as the power points

20. Repetition The other common use of repetition in photography is to capture the interruption of the flow of a pattern. For example you might photograph hundreds of red M&Ms with one blue one.

21. Fill the frame One of the most effective and simple composition techniques is to fill your frame with your point of interest. Doing so will greatly enhance your digital photographs and eliminate all that background clutter.
