Photographic Composition.

The rule of thirds

This shows the main parts of the photo through the intersections when divided into thirds. For example, we can see that the light house is the main focus. Each third section shows a different view of the image, however we know the top right side of the image is the main interest.

Cropped

The image is cropped and does not entirely fit into the frame. This can have the affect of the picture being trapped, or closed in. For example, the lion's face fills the entire frame, with no space around it. Having the image cropped this way can encourage that there's more behind the image than what meets the eye.

Foreground/Background

The effect causes our eyes to switch and move between the foreground of the picture and the background. The photographer is more clear compared to the background, however the background's not completely blurred, allowing our eyes to switch between them.

Skewed

This image would be skewed, due to the photo being taken on an angle. Taking the picture from an angled view shows and exaggerates the feelings and affect of disorientation

Light And Shade

The contrast in this image is shown through Light and shade. It can create and emphasis the mood and tone to the image. For example, having the image with a white background, and black details in the woman dancing, gives a contrast between the two. 

Lines And Shapes

The curved shapes and straight lines allow the picture to come together. For example, the curved path in this picture is more exagerated next to the straight lines from the bridge, and It can give the idea that the path leads off somewhere else.
