Lead your subject out of the frame...
...Not into it

Counterpoint
You can enhance the picture composition even more by creating a counterpoint. If you place
your primary focal point at the thirds position, you can place a secondary focal point at the
diagonally opposite thirds position.

Notice how the facial expression and mood allow for the composition to break rule.
