Subject matter is what we actually see

in a work of art, in this case, what we see in the photo.

Composition 

is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or 'ingredients' in a work of art, in this case a photo.

Frame/Cropping is the technique of drawing

attention to the subject of your image. You can cut off

parts of your photo to create a better composition.
