Imagine you have divided an image into 9 equal portions by a set of vertical and horizontal lines. The Rule of Thirds says you should position the most important elements of your scene along those lines or points where they intersect. This will add balance and interest to your photos.

VIEWPOINT VARIATIONS:
Viewpoint Variations is one way to make your images stand out from others is to see it from another angle or viewpoint. Find an angle that no-one else sees or has thought of and start to create your own style. By exploring your subjects beyond predictable first impressions, you can create new and startling compositions.

BALANCE (60 - 30 - 10)
The 60 - 30 - 10 rule is a way to create a natural balance in an image. The composition must be divided into three parts, 60% is the main section of the image, 30% is half as much as the largest part and 10% is usually an object that takes up the least amount of space in the composition.
