CUA Haunted House

The Ten Rules of Composition

Rule #1: Impact

Rule #2: Cropping (this is before I cropped my photo)

Here it is after...it looks so much better!

Rule #3: Biggest, Boldest, and most favorably placed

Rule #4: KISS

Rule #5: Rule of Thirds

Rule #6: Leading Lines 

Rule #7: Balance

Rule #8: Use of Framing

Rule #9: Avoid Mergers

Look how the tree branch looks like it's growing out of Brittany's head...

Since I switched the position of the picture, there are no more mergers present!

Rule #10: Room for Logical Movement (with some added fisheye effect)

"You don't know me? EVERYONE KNOWS ME! I'm Chris the pizza guy...you best be taking my picture young lady!"
