You can use the rule of thirds as a guide in the off-center placement of your subjects.

ensuring the subject gets the viewer's undivided attention.

Depth
Because photography is a two-dimensional medium, we have to choose our composition carefully to convey the sense of depth that was present in the original scene.

Symmetry
Symmetry conveys the harmonious sense of proportionality and balance.
And we have to agree that symmetry can be beautifully applied in photography.

23. ISABEL MUÑOZ.
In axial symmetry, the parts are balanced equally along a line called the axis of symmetry.

24. The rules of composition in photography - A General Guideline-
When you photograph a symmetrical subject, make sure that the center point in the viewfinder is placed in the center of the scene. 
Not doing this will always leave you with the feeling that there is something wrong with the picture.

Framing
Framing is simply using other objects in your photograph to frame the main subject.

26. By placing these objects around the edge of the composition you help to isolate the main subject from the outside world.

27. The world is full of objects which make perfect natural frames, such as trees, archways and holes.
