This really is amazing post explaining really a lot about photography. Since I`m really interested in this matter I really hope that you will post more threads like this one

Agreed, I found this useful too. There's plenty of good sites to help you learn too such as Cambridge in Colour, or just ask away in the photography section.

There is no set rule for composition. Shoot what you love, however you see it, record it, don't stick to any such rules whatsoever. You will be a better shooter for it.

I'm not sure I agree with this. The 'rules' for composition are useful and good to learn initially, and do work best for certain things. However, the 'rules' for composition should not be adhered to for every shot, they are a guide only. Some shots work better by completely ignoring the rules.

MrXile

Rules are to be broken. They are guidelines at best. Taking shots using rules of thirds doesn't make you a great shooter, it just makes you a sheep.

Neither does deliberately dismissing them.
