What Makes A Photograph A Good Photograph

Aspiring photographers many times have difficulties criticizing their own work. To find help they ask other people to judge (which is actually the right thing to do), but after that they are more confused then before. Images they actually favored for one reason or the other, their audience did not pay any attention to at all, and vice versa. The reason for that is not far fetched; we all filter visual messages differently.
But there are some rules that can help us in analyzing images. For me a good image results out of a strong balance between composition, color combination and message. All these three criteria stand in a relationship to each other and often, the first impression from a photograph is determined by the composition balance of an image.
So let’s talk this week about one of the composition rules. One of the most famous ones, which every aspiring photographer surely must have heard of is the Rule of Thirds. It is not just used in photography, but also in painting, layout and design. It is simply based on the fact that the human eye is naturally drawn to a point about two-thirds up a page. Meaning that everything that is important in an image (painting or design) should be placed, not in the middle, but rather, within a third section of the image. It will give the image more tension and will look more interesting.
An experienced photographer will use the rule of thirds while photographing without thinking much about it. Just like breathing air, composing images comes naturally to some people. If you have problems with composing, try practicing in Adobe Photoshop. Take a picture and lay a Grid over it.
“Edit?Preferences?Guides, Grid&Slices?Grid?Gridline every?33.3?percent.”
Take some of your works and arrange the objects in focus to the rule of the thirds and crop your photo so that the main subjects are located around one of the intersection points rather than in the center of the image. I am sure that for many of your pictures it will be an enhancement
