"Composition" is a creative way for expressing what you want through the layout and structure of an image. Photograph composition is a key value for visual effects. Through composition, photographers can let images convey the information that they want to express, and attract the attention of the audience. Although there is no absolute formula and rule in composition, objectively there are some formal rules, such as rule of thirds and symmetry and so on.
Different from previous researches, where most of them perform analysis after the images are taken. In this paper, we propose and design a photography application, which can rate the frame according to the user-selected composition setting. This helps a user know the basis of photography composition theory in the process of photograph, and understand the elements and principles that play important roles in photographic creation, as well as in its visual effect. In this paper, eight common composition criteria are selected for analysis: horizon, rule of thirds, triangle, convergence, frame, intensity balance and contrast.
