Composition Rules and Guidelines

 Before

After

• I like rule 1 which is The Rule Of Thirds because it makes the picture more interesting because in most pictures the person or object is in the middle and in the rule of thirds the person or object is in the side.
• One rule i also like is rule 3 , Aspect Ratio because you can get the picture fully & not miss a single shot of the object or scene you're taking .
• I like the rule Symmetry because strong lines and colors and the placement of the horizon and open spaces can all add interest to what appears, at first glance, to be a simple, symmetrical scene.
• I also like the rule texture because images a two dimensional thing yet with the clever use of ‘texture’ they can come alive and become almost three dimensional.
•  Blurring The Backround is also a good rule that I like is because it can enhance the composition of your photos by further isolating the main subject from everything else around it
