Its always good to review these.
Paraphrased from Wikipedia
Simplicity (photography)
Or KISS (keep it simple stupid!)

In photography, the technique of simplicity is used to achieve the effect
of singling out an item or items from their surrounding.
Simplicity is one of the underlying photographic techniques; a cluttered
picture distracts the eye and takes away from the subject. A simple
picture can be achieved by getting closer to the subject, which is also
one of the main rules of photography.
Simplicity is one of the main components of most good photographs. The
simpler the picture, the easier it is for the viewer to comprehend the
subject and appreciate it. Cluttered images and backgrounds are less
visually pleasing and more likely to cause the subject and lesser objects
to confuse each other visually.
