The Rules of Composition - Part 1/3 4-Framing In this composition the background is framed by a foreground element. In the two examples below a natural arch is used to frame the landscape behind it. This type of composition makes viewers feel that they are looking onto the landscape through a window. It also allows you to not use any sky at the top of the image by using a foreground element all around the image.

5 -Thin Sky In this type of composition the sky is kept to a minimum. This type of composition works great when there are no clouds in the sky. It is also very effective when you want to indicate where the horizon line is without emphasizing the sky.
