RULE OF THIRDS

The rule of thirds divides the photograph composition into "thirds" both vertically and horizontally. The foreground of the above example is divided into "thirds" horizontally by the two pieces of barb wire. The composition is divided into "thirds" vertically by the center fence post taking up the "middle third" and the background on the left and right of the post filling the other 'two thirds." The division does not have to be 'equal thirds" as is the case with the horizontal barb wire in this example.
