RULES OF PHOTO COMPOSITION.
Simplify the scene
Unlike you brain which allows you to only focus on things that are important, the camera is not able to do this which means that it will capture everything that it exposed at, this can create a messy picture with no focal point. To do this you must insure that you choose your subject, then select a focal length or camera viewpoint that makes it the centre of attention in the frame. This would give the audience one main focus point as you could blur the background by using depth of field this would then simplify the scene furthermore as there is less clutter and mess in the picture itself.

Fill the frame
To avoid any problems with the image being too large for the frame, you should zoom in to fill the frame, or get closer to the subject in question. Zooming in flattens the perspective of the shot and makes it easier to control or take out what’s shown in the background, but physically moving closer can give you a more interesting take on things.

Avoid the middle
When you are taking a picture its easy to put your focal point in the middle and this creates a very boring picture very alike to every other. One of the way to defeat this is to use the rule of third, this is when you split the image up into thirds, both horizontally and vertically, and try to place your subject on one of these imaginary lines

Leading lines
A picture may sometimes confuse to reader as to where to look and their attention might drift aimlessly around the scene without finding a clear focal point. However with the help of Converging lines, you can control the way people’s eyes move around the picture. Curved lines can lead you on a journey around the frame, leading you towards the main subject.

Background
Insure that you are looking at the background as well as your main focal point as this connects with simplifying the scene and and filling in the frame. Of course you can't completely rid the background but you can control what you want to show. To do this you can do one of the following. Change position enough to replace a cluttered background into one that compliments your main subject. If not choose a wider lens aperture and a longer focal length to keep the image out of focus.
