    This document provides an overview of intermediate composition techniques, including orientation, balance, color schemes, and depth of field. Orientation refers to using vertical or horizontal lines to guide the eye through an image. Balance is achieved by placing the main subject off-center and adding another out-of-focus element on the opposite side. Complementary colors sit opposite each other on the color wheel and create high contrast when combined. Depth of field is used to draw attention to the main subject by keeping it in sharp focus while blurring background elements.
