8. Lines Created depth by changing the way I took the photo

9. Rule of Thirds Placing people in a triangular group

10. Rule of Thirds Not placing any one item off center or in one third of photo is a bad photo

11. Rule of Thirds Onions take up two thirds of photo but makes a good photo

12. Lines Shooting on a diagonal to give depth

18. Balance Pleasing arrangement of pottery..used box to create height

19. Balance Shooting photo with hanging ghords create a feeling of symmetry in photo
