If
you divide the photo into thirds, place objects where the thirds
cross. Align horizons and edges to join the third lines.

dwell on and discover arbitrary parts of the photo.
Left right symmetry is the rule in this world -
many things have symmetry. If you can find examples where there
is symmetry (where it isn't expect) or symmetry is missing when it
should be there, your eye will dwell to reconcile the situation.
