1. Review of Compositional Elements :Composition

Focal Point: The subject or object you want the viewer to focus on, Every good photo should have a focal point. The focal point will lood better and stand out when you have a decluttered or clean background.

Rule of thirds:The rule of thirds is a composition guideline that places your subject in the left or right third of an image, leaving the other two thirds more open. While there are other forms of composition, the rule of thirds generally leads to compelling and well-composed shots.

Centered Composition: Centre composition: The most powerful way to draw attention to your main subject. As the name suggests, in the centre composition, the main subject is placed smack in the middle of the image frame. Use when you have a symetrical shot or a reflection shot. DO NOT OVERUSE
