Composition is defined as the way in which elements are combined with one another and placed into an image, thus creating a visual effect. Since I am speaking about composition, it is quite imperative to include the Rule of Thirds, since it is the most commonly used tool by which one can create a good composition for his/her image. This rule works like this: By dividing a photograph into nine sections (of equal size) using two imaginary horizontal and vertical lines, the photographer must try to align the main objects of the photograph at the points of intersection. If done correctly, it is said that a balanced composition will become noticeable.
