    Composition is one of the things we learn about when we are beginning to understand photography. Compositional thirds or the intersection of the lines when a rectangle is divided into three parts vertically and horizontally are a very strong, eye–catching place to put important things of a photograph. Vertical lines or horizontal lines as elements of a photograph also help the viewer navigate around an image. Diagonal lines add tension. I think, directing the viewer is part of our job as photographers. Giving the viewer the best opportunity to see what we want them to see, by employing and or exploiting compositional elements, framing, focus, time, and flatness. Real photographers, people who see with a camera as a quotation capturing devise, make art. An artist knows when it is best to break compositional rules. It separates someone with a camera and a photographer.
