Composition // Features

Composition within an image is important because it relates to how the whole image is portrayed and shown

'Composition' in photography is arranging elements within an image in a way that suits the core idea or goal.

This involves symmetry, rule of thirds, object placement.

Symmetry:
from the middle of the image, each side is almost identical to the other.
