Less Is More
Clutter in the background of your photos detracts from the main subject. Look for simple backdrops away from other people when possible (or move in close to eliminate extra people.) Watch out for things "growing out" of your subject's head from the background - such as lampposts, telephone poles, trees or branches. A backdrop of a bick wall, the side of a barn, a sand dune or a big leafy bush can make interesting but calm settings for well composed portraits.
If you don't have a clean background try moving in close to fill your view finder with your subject, leaving only a little of the background to give flavor of where the shot was taken.
