"natural framing" and "foreground interest" are just two more rule of thumbs of composing a shot.

keep your frame filled and free of distractions in the fore or background. 2 Step Two FOCUS: most of the compact digital cameras have autofocus systems and they generally depend on the relative contrast of the subject. focus is at its best in the wide angle and bright lights.
