Image composition is the arrangement of visual elements within a frame—how subjects, lines, colors, and empty space relate to each other.
In photography and visual arts, strong composition guides the viewer's eye and creates balance or tension: The rule of thirds improved her image composition.
Composition distinguishes a snapshot from a photograph.
