Technique	Diagonal composition--The model occupies the lower right side of the picture. It generates an implied diagonal line to balance the composition Complementary hues--(red and green). Sandwitch two slides--This type of sandwitch effect works best with a white model, who has a blode hair and lighter skin tone, otherwise two overlapping images will become too dark. Also, the model should show her shoulder otherwise the clothing would "intrude" the overall tone of the picture.
