Move In Closer

One of the easiest things you can do when taking a photo and trying to get it to look better is to get closer to the subject. Getting closer to the subject you are taking a picture of will make your photo much better.

Why?

Here's the reason. When you get closer to the subject you reduce the amount of empty space that is there. Now, empty space can be used properly during some photos but most likely this empty space is going to have clutter in it. Think of the forests. If you have empty space it is going to have branches, leafs, twigs, and a bunch of clutter. Getting closer will rid the photo of this clutter and focus the image on one particular subject and that subject only.

Another way to focus in on one subject is to zoom in. Now, if you want to get a good photo of something don't just get closer by moving closer, actually step back and zoom in to the area you want the photo to be. What this does is give your photo a much more shallow depth of field. This means that the background will be more blurry and the object of interest will be very sharp and focused.
