Most information on composition is either flat out wrong like all those golden rectangle overlays, or it is formulaic like Edgar Payne's book. Just rely on your gut instinct and do lots of thumbnailing.

Compositional rules are the holy grail of bs.

If it looks good, it looks good. Experiment a bunch.
