Another mistake is when photographers try to include too many subjects in an image. You need one primary subject and if you include too many objects or people in an image, it tends to drown out your primary subject.

Another thing you may come across while you’re learning about composition is the rule of thirds. Instead of always centering your subject, you want to follow the rule of thirds to offset the subject so that your image is more visually appealing.

Finally, make sure that you’re thinking about your foreground and background while you’re composing a shot. Doing so gives depth to the image and makes it more visually appealing with layers of interest to grab the viewer’s attention.

Use these simple tips to help you improve the quality of your images, and before long you’ll find that your mistakes are minimized and your successes are maximized!
