    • Look applicable and relevant to your genera
  • Don't have any non-general clutter in the frame (Relevant To your Cause only)
  • Don't have a crooked frame; you need to balance on both sides of your background.
  • Take a snapshot of the backdrop with you to check for odd things in the frame that can not be identified or just look weird.
