Composition is
the arrangement of items in an
image where the subject is, in relation to
the borders of the image
the key to successful images

Balance
Equality of the left & right sides of the image

Balance
Symmetry Both sides of an
imaginary central line are the same
Asymmetry Both sides of an imaginary
central line ARE NOT the same
