Always give your picture a main focal point. What is it that you immediately see in the picture? Where are your eyes drawn? It is important that your picture has a main focal point. If it presents too many things to see all at the same time then it's bound to confuse the viewer rather than “excite.”

A picture should have one dominant color. This is not always easy. Try to avoid putting strong colors that will clash in the same picture.

Observe the Rule of Thirds: Divide a rectangular image into 9 equally sized, smaller rectangles. Position the main subject of the picture at any point where the lines cross.

Ensure that your pictures have a foreground, middle ground and background. One of the three should be dominant in the photograph.

Crop if you're not happy with the picture you have taken.

Move in close. You will be surprised at what going closer to your subject can make.

If you are taking a picture against a grey, dull sky, keep the sky out of the picture whenever possible.

Experiment with different viewpoints. Taking shots from high up looking down can provide you with very interesting perspectives.

Look for ways of naturally framing your shot.

When shooting the horizon, try to place it a third of the way from the bottom of the picture or a third of the way from the top. Try to avoid placing it in the middle of the picture.
