Tips:Frame your shot.

Composition is the name of the game. Pay attention not just to your subject but also to what surrounds it. Is there a tree branch in the background that looks like it's coming out of your subject's head? Move your subject or your camera before you take the picture so that the tree branch is at the edge, framing the frame. Frequently, photos turn out better when the subject is off-center, because centering the subject can make it too static. Don't be afraid to move around. View your subject from different angles - up, down, left, right - until you find an angle that pleases you. Or try turning your camera vertically to catch a different perspective.
