The horizon in the photograph is on the horizontal line dividing the lower third of the photo from the upper two-thirds. The tree is at the intersection of two lines, sometimes called a power point [1] or a crash point. [2] The rule of thirds is a rule of thumb for composing visual art such as designs, films, paintings, and photographs. [3]
[7] The rule of thirds suggests that the subject's eyes, as a centre of interest, are ideally positioned one-third of the way down from the top of the frame. [8] With a subject placed one-third of the way down from the top of the frame, the subject aligns with the proper headroom to make an image pleasing to the eye. This technique has carried ...

Diagonal method of a 3:2 image. The diagonal method (DM) is a rule of thumb in photography, painting and drawing.Dutch photographer and lecturer Edwin Westhoff discovered the method when, after having long taught the rule of thirds in photography courses, he conducted visual experiments to investigate why this rule of thirds only loosely prescribes that points of interest should be placed more ...
Example of Golden Triangle method on a painting. Compositional elements fall within the triangles. The golden triangle rule is a rule of thumb in visual composition for photographs or paintings, especially those which have elements that follow diagonal lines. The frame is divided into four triangles of two different sizes, done by drawing one ...
Arrangement: for example, use of the golden mean or the rule of thirds; Lines; Rhythm; Illumination or lighting; Repetition (sometimes building into pattern; rhythm also comes into play, as does geometry) Perspective; Breaking the rules can create tension or unease, yet it can add interest to the picture if used carefully

(In photography, the magnification is usually defined to be positive, despite the inverted image.) For example, with a magnification ratio of 1:2, we find f = 1.5 ⋅ F {\displaystyle f=1.5\cdot F} and thus the angle of view is reduced by 33% compared to focusing on a distant object with the same lens.
