Leading Lines
This is where your eye is attracted to lines that lead you directly to another point in the image.

| This image perfects leading lines because the trains show you where the end point of the city is. I picked this because I love the city and trains. They make me feel happy and alive.
Vertical Lines
Can portray different moods in a photo, like power and strength. They are also attention grabbers, and create tension by making the viewer look at the lines.
 Horizontal Lines They often act as dividing points in a picture, which also give off a calm, stable feeling. They can also crate rhythm and a pattern.  Diagonal Lines It draws the eye of the viewer throughout the entire photo. It also demonstrates a sense of action and imagery. 
This shows diagonal lines because it makes the viewers eye look throughout the photo. I like it because it makes you pay attention to the whole image.
Curved Lines
These are lines that demonstrate comfort, but it'd not a straight line.
This shows the idea of curved lines because the view feels a sense of comfort. I like this because I love listening to music off of vinyls and it gives me comfort.
Symmetrical Balance
This brings a pleasing proportion and balance into the photograph. It is a mirroring image of an item, or they have the same feel to it.
This demonstrates symmetrical balance because it an mirroring image and if you put a line down the middle, you'd have the same image on each side. I really love this picture because it gives off a subtle feel and I've always loved escalators.
Asymmetrical Balance
It can also be known as informal balance, since it is not uniform. It's normally where the subject is off center and you need to counter balance a large image with a smaller image, along with everything needing to out balance everything.
In the image above, it shows asymmetrical balance by all the objects in the photo balancing each other out. I like this image because of how the trees color pops out, along with the setting behind it. You can think it's coming from the city, or a town.
Unity
Unity is when all the objects are balanced and bring the picture to a complete whole.
In this image, unity is shown by the orange chairs making the picture tie together. I like this because it simple, and without the bright orange, you'd completely pass this photo.
Variety
Is mostly produced by diversity and with doing that, it completely changes the visual input of the photograph. Unity is the opposite of variety.
This is variety because it shows a difference and changes the input. I like it because it gives off a playful response.
Movement/Rhythm
This is produced by the viewers eye following the picture, and by certain elements in a photo repeating.
It demonstrates movement by the images being blurred, and then rhythm by the repeating colors and the idea that those are people. I really like this picture because dancing is something my family enjoys, and this reminds me of them.
Emphasis
Is an area of a photo that will catch the viewers attention and you make it the subject of your photo.
This perfectly shows emphasis, for it is what catches your attention. I like this because it's simple, but at the same time seems extraordinary.
Proportion and Scale
Changing proportion and scale will dramatically change the mood of your image. One of your objects in the photo will look like it doesn't belong, it is out of proportion.
In this image the part that makes it out of proportion are the big feet, or the feet that look like the belong to the wicked witch in The Wizard of Oz. I love this because it gives off this idea of fantasy because you know this isn't real.
Repetition/Pattern
This uses the idea of repeating something to create interesting images. These repeated things create equality within the image.
In the image, the chairs are the repeated aspect. I like this because it is something is easy to take a picture of, instead of the pattern being a graphic design, or something out of the ordinary.
Bird's Eye View
Is a change in your camera angle. You are looking down upon an item, or subject.
This is a great example for bird's eye view because it look upon a city, and shows how busy it is. I like this because it shows a city at a whole new look, and demonstrates how an angle can change the opinion on a photo.
Worm's Eye View
Is where you shoot from below the subject.
This shows the composition, worm's eye view because the subject had to be shot from the camera being under it. I like this because it's different and unique.
Horizon Line
Is the line that acts like your divider. It shows the different levels in your photo and demonstrates how you can capture more then one thing.
I like this because it shows the horizon line really well. It has three levels, and the horizon line being where the sea and sky part.
Rule of Thirds
This is applied when you split the photo into nine sections and where the line would be, your subject would be.
This shows rule of thirds because the tree is in where the intersecting lines would be. I like this because the tree is you main focus and in my head I draw the lines for I know its there.
Framing
This is a technique where one subject is being used as a frame, to frame another object.
In this the gate is the frame to the white house, and it makes you look at the house. I like this because its neat how you can take one object and make it do something to another object, like frame it.
Simplicity
Is where you normally place a colorful object against a neutral background for the picture has a simple thing to it.
This isn't a neutral background but the color of the water is dull enough to make the kayak stand out. I love this because it's so simple and easy to shoot this, but at the same time difficult.
Texture
This shows off how a subject has feels or if it has feeling.
This is an example of texture because you can tell the wall and paint chipping has a feeling to it. I love this because you can demonstrate if its soft, hard or rough, all in one picture or in separate.
