“The rule of thirds is a “rule of thumb” or guideline which applies to the process of composing visual images such as paintings, photographs and designs.[1] The guideline proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections.[2] Proponents of the technique claim that aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject would.[citation needed]“

The rule of thirds seems to trend on Friday. I especially tried to use this rule today.

Well done!
I really like this photo, the way you’ve aligned the light [and light and dark areas] as well as the way the branches of the trees show somewhat in the background.
Thank you very much! I had fun taking this picture.
