Composition
Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds is a guide to help composition where photos are divided into thirds with two imaginary lines vertically and two lines horizontally. Important compositional elements are placed on or near the imaginary lines and where the lines intersect.

Triangles
Photographers can arrange subjects within a composition into a triangle shape. It is a way of enhancing a composition. The triangles can be used to fill the frame or balance the image. The triangles can be created by any objects and can form a stable and solid composition if the base of the triangle lies along the bottom of picture.

Balancing
Balance helps to guide the viewer’s image around the image without resting too heavily on any one particular part. Balance can be achieved in a photograph by using symmetry, placing objects of interest on both side of the picture and using contrast so the light or dark areas of a picture are not too close to one side of the photo.

Layering
Layering is a method used to give a photograph a sense of depth. This can be done by separating the composition into foreground, middle and background. A picture that includes all three will lead the view into the frame and be more interesting.

My Response
I made a series of pictures to show how the composition ideas work in real life.
