Below are some samples of good Compositions versus ones that aren't so great. Can you identify what makes one successful and what makes one not successful?
One method of creating a successful Composition is using interesting Viewpoints.
A Viewpoint is the angle, direction, or stance from which you choose to take your photograph. Exploring multiple viewpoints makes for more interesting Compositions.
Common Viewpoints: High angle, Eye Level, Low angle, and Close up

The most commonly used method for successful Composition is Rule of Thirds.
Rule of Thirds is the use of an imaginary grid that divides a photo into thirds with two vertical and two horizontal lines. Important Compositional elements are placed near the intersection points to make the photo more visually appealing.
