Good vs. Bad Composition

The composition applied in this photo is symmetry. The image itself portrays a plane flying over the middle of buildings that are perfectly symmetrical, creating a diamond-like shaped hole to show the plane in the middle. The genre of the image is architecture.

This photo has bad composition because of the half-giraffe on the left. It could've had better composition if it was more balanced. The image itself portrays the half of the giraffe in a savannah grazing, with trees in the background. The genre of photography is nature.
