The composition of this one is brilliant. There are so many ways that the artist draws your attention to the center Starting by making the top deliberately light and then fade it down to dark as you move downwards only leaving Sanguinius still lit up. On Sanguinius, beside the obvious wings the artist is using both colors light and dark values using the white cape white purity seals contrasting to the crimson armor. Not accidentally using almost the same colors that the wings had for uniformity. Then how he is the only light in the darkness of the Chaos hordes around him pointing fingers, guns etc at him or just looking towards him. Even the Silhouette of the Chaos hordes form a "U" shape that matches the wings but deliberately stops at the stairs. This is because after pulling the attention from top to down the artists also brings the attention of picture to a clear stop at the feet using those vertical stairs he is standing on. Finally he puts the halo glow around his head to clearly show the focus point of the image but also puts a few decorations on the armor around it to keep the attention there. Notice hoe the details of the armor are mostly covered in shadow at the arms and legs but not the heraldry icon on the shoulder pad.

Most of these are deliberate and I would gets meticulously planned composition to make an imposing picture. The only part that breaks the symmetry is the Khorne daemon with the glowing runesword at the bottom left which seems to pop out for no specific reason but to break the symmetry.

There is probably more that I probably am not seeing but I hope this gave you enough insight about it to improve your pic.
