Composition:
Photography brings a visual language that is universal in understanding. We must then understand its vocabulary which consists of shapes, textures, patterns, lines, colours, shade of light to dark and sharp to blurry images. Just as we must learn to arrange words in a coherent order in order to make sense when we write or speak, so too must we put visual elements together in an organized manner if our photographs are to convey their meaning clearly and vividly.
Composition means arrangement: the orderly putting together of parts to make a unified whole; composition through a personal, intuitive act. However, there are basic principles that govern the way visual elements behave and interact when you combine them inside the four borders of a photograph. Once we have sharpened our vision and grasped these basic ideas of principles, then we will have the potential for making our photographs more exciting and effective than ever before.
Rule of thirds:
works like this, when you have a picture the eye naturally forms on the four focus points, these focus points can be found by dividing your picture or screen shot into thirds both horizontaly and vertically.

One last thing about the Rule of Thirds:
Once you have got the hang of the Rule of Thirds you will very quickly want to break it! This is fine. As I said earlier these rules are best used as guidelines and if you can create a better image by bending or ignoring rules then go ahead.
