LEAVE MORE SPACE IN FRONT OF THE SUBJECT break the rules

The conventional approach- there should be more space in front of the subject.

here in the picture above- there is more space behind.
But- Its working.
at times breaking the rules makes a better picture.
the reflection on the yellow wall, the shadow of the hand, light and shade- everything is keeping the viewer within the frame.

    Another example where there is more space behind the subject than in front. Its not bad to see what is not regular at times. Remmember, it may not always work to break the rule. Only in certain situations will it be allright.
 		      
    Ideally, she should have been looking the other side into the space within the picture but it is working somehow here. the split second decision.

    technicaly (or mathematicaly!!!) there is more space behind the model but aesthetically this is where more space was required. Notice the flow of hair. her eyes and body position!

 		      
    Although she is looking outward with more space on the left but the "v" of the neck and the lines of the arms are strong enough to retain the attention. However, first thing you look at in the photograph is the face.

    looking out but the hand, bangles, the border of the dupatta, neckpiece, are all drawing the viewer in. Due to the arm border and the bangles the weight is heavier towards the left.
