Composition is basically the way an image is constructed visually. There are some "rules" for composition such as the rule of thirds being the main one and other rules like where to place eyes, how to lead the viewers eyes into the subject of the image and to create symmetry within an image.
The rule of thirds is the most common rule and most easily used. The rule of thirds grid is basically a 3x3 grid which is usually found on the Liveview screen and also on most smartphone cameras.
This grid can help alot when it comes to beginner photography because it can show you where you can place subjects along the intersecting lines to add interest to the image.
Lead in lines are used to add a compelling and eye catching effect to an image which is very subtle, a line or set of lines in the foreground can lead the viewers eye to the main subject. This effect is also achieved by using foreground interest as a framing technique. By having an object (which is plain and out of focus) in the foreground, this can lead the viewers eye to the main subject, such as in these examples below.
