    The document discusses factors to consider when selecting a successful photographic composition, including orientation, cropping, lighting, balance, and incorporating diagonals. It recommends choosing a vertical or horizontal format, reducing negative space, cropping to include at least two objects or sides to avoid "Centralitis", selecting lighting with a good balance of light and shadow, and considering overall balance and use of diagonals and triangles. Examples of strong and weak compositions are shown and the reader is provided a checklist for evaluating compositions.
