1. The photography rule of thirds tells us to align our subject with one of the points where those lines cross.
2. The subject is one third of the way “into” the picture space – from either the top or bottom, and from either the left or right. It is not in the middle.
3. 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.

REFLECTION
Besides determining the best exposure for each and every photo, the positioning of your subject matter is also very important. Different and unique placing of objects can draw the attention of viewers closer into the photo itself. It also adds value to the quality of the photo.
