THE RULE OF THIRDS.
I know it takes a while to get used to seeing your images composed by the rule of 3rds, but once you get the hang of it and implement it, it can make an ok image more interesting, balanced and dynamic.
Imagine your image divided into 3rds, both horizontally and vertically. Ideally, the main focus or subject in your shot should be right at the intersection of two of the lines. In the example I've created, it would be where the red circles are. If not at the intersection of the thirds, your subject should be along one of the lines. 
When doing close up shots of people, their eyes, which are the main focus, should be on a thirds line.
Your challenge is to submit one photo demonstrating the RULE OF THIRDS. You may submit any photo you like.
Here is a link with more information on the rule. link
Here are a few examples I shot.

I have won a few contests with this shot, RO3 is spot on.

MY Hubbs, Iggy. The focus is on His eyes, I shot and cropped with RO3 in mind.

Although the water is scenic the Your eyes are drawn to My Son Draven. With or without the grid it is obvious that his placement in this photo follows RO3.
