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.
