Follow The Rule of Thirds - It states that photographs will be more interesting if you try not to center the most important objects in your picture. Instead, try to split the photograph into thirds, horizontally and vertically, creating a nine section grid. A few camera phones let you activate a nine-section grid display on the image-preview screen. You then ensure the main point of focus is positioned on one or more of the four intersecting lines.

A landscape for example would have the horizon on either one or two thirds of the way up the photograph, while a tree would be placed on the left or right third. Creating an L shape composition.

Proponents of this composition technique claim that aligning a photograph with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the photo than simply centering the feature would.
