[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 190576, member: 11881"] STM gave you excellent advice on the rule of thirds. I often assume that when people break that rule it's because they meant too. Well you know what they say about assuming... at least on my end anyway. :) Of course with all rules there is a time to break them. Follow the rule and example STM gave you, but know when to break it. In my sunset and black and white I shattered the rule of thirds. I did this because there was so much to show, colors reaching all the way back and over me and a storm cloud seemingly reaching to the edge of space, that I only gave you enough ground reference to anchor you. If I had followed the rule then I would have cut off what really needed to be shown and left the picture incomplete. [/QUOTE]
