Others have said similar things, here's my spin. You want to draw the viewer's eye to some focal point, preferably not dead-center. An easy way to do this is by putting the darkest dark, directly adjacent to the lightest light; the viewer's eye will be drawn to that spot, then traverse the rest of the image.
I know nothing about art, but my spouse does, and I've overheard her giving this advice more than once.
