Hi all 😃 My entry for this week’s challenge, set by Tina.
The rule of thirds is, to me, more of a guideline than a rigid instruction. That being said, I do apply it quite a lot in my compositions.
This Kelpies shot is one of my favourites, with the snow-covered hills in the background.
The rule lends itself well to flowers; the first shot, in particular, works for me with the bright white rhodies against the natural blue sky backdrop.
As Tina points out, the rule of thirds doesn’t work if the subject is facing or moving out of the shot; with these animals, I’ve made sure that they are going the right way.
I like shooting into the sun when it’s low in the sky, but always make sure it’s off to the side & doesn’t dominate the picture.
Even Lensy gest in on the action with the rule of thirds. Sometimes the shot works well with him in the centre, although he can mask some of the subject…
…so moving him off to the side means the subject can be seen properly.
…and finally, some more Lensy shots.
Jez, your shots with the Lensy are great; very creative. Composition of The Kelpies is quite good and the snow-covered mountains really add to the picture. Love all of your pictures.
Thank you so much, Sylvia 😊
Great photos! I love them all, especially the Kelpies.
Thanks, Dawn 😊
As much as I love the Kelpies…your lensy is the star!
Thanks, Leya 😊 He’s proving popular this week 😃
Every time he appears!
Great response to this challenge Jez! I especially liked that you gave Lensy some of the spotlight. He certainly turned things upside down, especially when place on a rule of thirds grid. I also liked all your other photos.
Thanks so much, Anne 😊
You have a lot of wonderful shots here, Jez. But my personal favourite is the Kelpies.
Thanks, Teresa 😊 The kelpies seem to be proving popular 😃
Ah Jez, you made my day with Lensy!!! Excellent response.
Thanks, Tina 😊
The Kelpies are gorgeous! Always like seeing your pictures of them. Also liked the simplicity of the sheep photo, Jez.
Thank you so much, Siobhan 😊 The sheep pic is one of my favourites for it’s simplicity 😃

Great selections. Love the Lensy’s too. It works well with water reflections!
Thanks, John 😊
Fabulous collection, Jez. Just wonderful images. I love how you use Lensy. I’m going to explore that some more. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you so much, Patti 😊 I look forward to seeing some of your lens ball shots; I’m always keen to see how others use them 🤔
So good. Lensy made me smile. The Kelpies and snow had me at the start Jez 🙂 🙂
Thanks, Brian 😊
