How to Create Awesome Photos by Cropping
Some people often face the problem of having unequal distances at both extremes and the picture looks odd. A perfect picture always has the subject in the centre with equal distance left on right and left size of the subjects. If more than one person is included in the picture, you should ensure that equal distance is left on both sides. Nevertheless, if the picture includes a group of people, you must make sure that people standing at the extremes are covered properly in the picture.
