    Agreed, Gerry, that is a basic photographic composition rule. If
    you're clever enough, you can also center the subject in the frame
    with one-third backgound/foreground, or left/right. It doesn't
    always work, but your "three 'E's" most definitely are the one "rule
    that isn't a rule at all." 

    A more hard-and-fast rule of composition is to try and compose all
    of the elements so that they guide the eye to the main subject,
    whether that subject is centered, or elsewhere in the frame. That's
    where artistic flair can make a big difference. 

    You could say that people also utilize their computers for digital
    manipulation in that same vein...experimentation.
