Balance Balance is a compositional technique in photography. It is achieved: a) When different parts of a photograph command your attention equally through the interplay of light and dark areas or subjects b) By inferring geometric symmetry

Leading line Leading lines direct the eye to some point on the picture. As the eye sight follows diagonal lines in the composition, they tend to pull the viewer in or out of the picture, while vertical and horizontal lines tend to be more static, but could lead the eye toward something they terminate at. Leading lines can also be implied or sight lines. Whichever way a subject is facing or moving that can create a sight line as well as that could become a leading line in the same direction. Roads and rivers often act as strong leading lines in a picture, as well as a row of something that moves off with perspective.

Depth Depth is how much something is in focus. Say you have your camera focused on a person a nd their image is perfectly clear but the background behind them is blurry. That's depth, whe n something is in complete focus.
