Composition is one of the most important elements of a pleasant photograph. This element is the difference between a candid snapshot or a planned execution. Suffice to say: photographs are nothing without composition. There are many "rules" available which define why composition works, but for simplicity sake let's begin with the rule of thirds.
The rule of thirds is a guideline for composing an image. If important features of an image align with the two horizontal or vertical lines versus perfectly centered, the image will have more of an aesthetic impact on the viewer. This is a way the photographer can create emphasis on a particular subject. The two screenshots below are from the crop portion of an Instagram post. Which crop would you prefer? Most cell phone camera settings have a "guidelines" option available. Share your images with emphasis on composition with the hashtag #smartphonephotographychallenge
