Composition Rules and Guidelines

Before 

After

1)  http://digital-photography-school.com
     The rule I like from this article is rule 3 which is texture because I didn't know it is part of the composition and I think know one really focuses on the texture in the pictures.
2)  http://www.photographymad.com
     The rule I like from this article is rule 6 which is background because I didn't know that background really matter.
3)   http://www.colorpilot.com/
     The rule I like from this article is rule 3 which is diagonal rule because out of all the rules i have seen so far this one is the one I do not understand.
4)  http://www.popphoto.com/
     The tip I like from this article is tip 2 which says that shooting in manual to have better exposure control I like this rule because it sounds like a good tip even though I don't know what they mean.
5)  http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/
      The tip I like from this article is tip 5 which is leading lines I like this one because its telling you to take a poor picture and then your viewers will wonder what they are looking at so they will look at it for a long time.
