Learning the frame is basic to understanding composition in general. You should maintain subject aligned using the imaginary lines in the "Rule of Thirds." What this means is divide your subject into thirds by drawing two imaginary vertical and horizontal lines. The lines ought to be evenly spaced. This will make up a grid pattern. Place the subject the location where the lines intersect to produce a more interesting composition.
Equally important may be the orientation in the frame. Research vertical and horizontal versions of the same image. This is a GREAT exercise to push your composition skills. Soon you'll build a sense of the balance between subject matter and background, as well as train you to ultimately get rid of the "standard" rut. (For many which is always shooting horizontal images, for others it is always shooting vertical images.) You may be amazed at how quick your images improve using this exercise.
Another exercise that will assist increase your photographs would be to photograph the same subject diversely. Please take a close-up shot as well as a wide-angle shot. Shoot at least three different information on the key subject. Using this exercise you should shoot, "full frame." With this day of digital photography and digital darkroom cropping, we have lost this method and talent.
