[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 256421, member: 17556"] Some tips: - Always leave extra room for/towards where your subject is going, heading or looking. - Use the rule of thirds when composing (most of the time you use this rule not always) Imagine a tic-tac-toe grid over your composition and position on the intersection of one set of the grid lines. - Try not to perfectly center your subject unless this actually adds to the image interest or is important to what you are trying to convey - Keep busy patterns out of your image as much as possible. - Watch your background for clutter/busy patterns - If humans are vertical take the image portrait. If they are horizontal take it landscape (usually applies not always) - Look for, and use when possible, [I]leading lines[/I] that guide the viewers eye into the center of your image Here is a kind of guide (not that accurate) of using rule of thirds for composition [ATTACH=CONFIG]69756._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
