It's not that easy as you imagine to take or make some good photographs!

Professional photographers know better the rules you have to follow for fantastic photos!

Yes,yes of course you have to follow some rules cause a photograph it has to be in some way that it will affect your eyes first and then your brain!
It's a psychological theme.
But if you follow some basic rules of synthesis you can easily take a very good shoot!

Below you can see some examples which they will help you improve your technique and your photograph ability!

The rule of the third.

Take the important parts in lines and the most important parts there where the lines are crossing.

Driver-lines

Use the natural lines that exist in your photo-this will attract the attention of the viewer!

Diagonal lines

If you use properly diagonal lines you will give dynamism to the image!

Frame

Take advantage of the physical frames that exist in the image , such as windows and doors.

Figures against the background

Find the contrast between the object image and the background.

Fill the picture

Take a close-up of the person shooting .

Imposing eyes

Place the right or left eye in the center of the composition. This gives the impression that the eyes of your theme will follow you.

Drawings and repetition

It's nice to observe a pattern in a photo. But it is even better when the pattern is stopped .
So there is a contrast in the photo .

Symmetry

Harmony between the two halves is always pleasing to the eye .

Balancing Elements

Placing your main subject off-centre creates a more interesting photo, but it can leave a void in the scene which can make it feel empty.
You should balance the "weight" of your subject by including another object,less important, to fill the space.

Viewpoint

Before photographing your subject, take time to think about where you will shoot it from.
Our viewpoint has a massive impact on the composition of our photo, and as a result it can greatly affect the message that the shot conveys.
Rather than just shooting from eye level, consider photographing from high above, down at ground level, from the side, from the back, from a long way away, from very close up, and so on.

Poor photo composition can make a fantastic subject dull, but a well-set scene can create a wonderful image from the most ordinary situations.

Spend a little time practising each one of these rules.You'll soon learn to spot situations where the different rules can be applied to best effect.
Photo composition doesn't have to be complicated. But if you pay too much attention to strict formulae, your photos will lose any kind of spontaneity.
In the real world, you'll be working with a wide range of subjects and scenes, and this requires a more open-minded approach.
What works for one photo won't necessarily work for another.

Choosing the right focal length or position a person properly can make all the difference.
Technical know-how is very important in photography, of course, and even in some aspects of photo composition.
But to take great shots you need visual knowledge too.
