Thas a stunning image. So simple which is where it gets its power from. Like the way the backdrop just halos away ever so subtly. Composition almost perfect.

Nice composition and great idea. Shame about the vignetting around the corners.

...ok...not surprised about where this placed in "crispy" focus land...BUT...I found it quite entrancing...wish the peeps would learn to embrace the blur...yeah {{{rolls eyes}}} I'm not gonna hold my breath...oh well, their loss.

Comment by bledford:
This was a fun experiment. I personally enjoy this abstract image very much and was not shooting for the almost brown ribbon position. My concept was to have a subject that was not really a subject, with a point of focus that fell in the general rule of thirds area, but not so obvious as to be kowtowing to the golden mean.

So, does an image have to be in focus, lacking grain, entirely composed along an intersecting 1/3 line to have a chance in this challenge? Apparently so. Does this image fit the challenge? Most would say it doesn't but I challenge that.

Look for more shots like this and my Rain submission from me in the future, as I've grown bored of the picture perfect stock image for now. I might come back to it, but not for awhile. Cheers!

Yes, the image is divided into thirds, but not according to the "Rule of Thirds". It is also unfortunately uninteresting. It is shape but not subject matter.

This image needs to be a little clearer IMP, it looks a lilttle foggy to me.
