In photography, it takes the right equipment and knowledge of photoshop to make a quality picture, but it takes skill and taste to produce a truly magnificent work of art.
Think of the subject of the picture, should it be centered?
Generally, the subject should be placed to the side.
Oh, and on a random note, never crop a person off at a joint (elbow, knee, etc.) That's a general rule of photography, but it's seldom addressed. It makes a person look like they were amputated or something.
Generic portraits consist of the figure in the middle, looking head-on at the camera and horrendously bored.
Think outside the box; use creative angles; think of ways to convey personality.
Perhaps a handful of balloons, a photoshoot at a tireshop, at a pool in the lifeguard stand, or perhaps a simple matter of mis-matching socks for a senior portrait.
Composition is the fun part of photography, where you can express yourself from behind the lens.
You have the camera, but use it like no one else would.
