TIP NUMBER 2 - THE RULE OF THIRDS
According to the rule of thirds, you have to divide your screen into 9 equal segments by 2 vertical and 2 horizontal lines. The rule of thirds says that you should position the most important elements in your picture along these lines, or at the points where it intersects.
The main explanation of this rule is that the human eye's attention naturally goes to these points when it is watching something on a screen. For this reason, if you want to catch the attention of one particular element in your scene, you must position it according to the
rule of thirds.
Nowadays, some digital cameras and mobiles phones have the option of superimpose a
rule of thirds grid over the screen, to make even easy to use it.
Here there are some examples:

In this picture the tree is along one of the lines of the rule of thirds grid to emphasize the snow scene.
