Better!
But... to be kind to dial-up users, you should post links instead of full-sized images. ;)

okay, i'll remember that.
i'm probably gonna use this picture in the challenge.
i've made the goal to submit one picture per challenge, so i have to have one
EDIT: ---- i just noticed that i already posted a picture in the bubbles II challenge, and that you couldn't post a picture in each of the exclusive open challenges

Alright everybody, first step is open photoshop.
edit > preferences > guides, grid and slices...
Set the grid to 33.33%, and however many subdivisions suits you. I like 3.
The solid lines are thirds. Make sure your photo is composed along those lines.
An example of one of my photos using the rule of thirds:
Its not exact, but I think its pretty clear that the main compositional lines (the horizon, the water) and points (the rider, the jump) in this photo fall along thirds lines...

I spent most of last year believing rule of thirds meant that the picture was divided into three and the object was to fall in one of the segments. *cringe*
 wingyisleeds mentions this as rule of thirds.. Will voters want a smaller object that cuts the line as shown below or do bigger objects really work here too

That picture is a clear example of thirds in almost every aspect, even a slight vertical stripe division because of the jump and jumper being homed on the left lines. Good example! |

Yours, I'm almost certain. The D70 and the D80 has them and I would think that the D50 has them too. |

For scorings sake, I'd go with the more simplistic abstractions of the rule, rather than taking it beyond into more advanced interpretations. |

I don't think the D50 does, actually. |

Perhaps a little different composition of this horse would make it a stronger rule of thirds candidate for this DPC challenge.
Recompose this image by rotating the camera right to have just the front of the horse coming in from the left side of the image and center the horse's eye EXACTLY on the upper left rule of thirds intersection point. Though the whole horse would no longer be in the frame it is positioned looking into the frame and not out of it which is usually desireable (that is another of those pesky photography "rules" people are always maligning) AND it meets the rule of thirds in a more easily discernible way which would be better for the challenge.
This presupposed, of course, that there is supportive background that lacks serious distractions further to the right. The wires are distracting enough as it is. ;)

| So if you are shooting a building, you don't necessarily have to have anything at one of the crosses, as long as the roof line or something is running along one of the lines? |

That's correct. For rule of thirds you can position things at the thirds intersections or have lines (such as the horizon) at either the vertical or horizontal thirds lines. |

Anyone thinks it may have scored good?
I like some feed back please.
Thanks
And this one taken minutes after the first one as the sun was up in Highnoon.

Just eyeballing, the main vertical of the neck appears to fall close to a third line and the line of the back on another, with the junction of back and neck landing on/near a line junction.
For me, this works very well, and I love the shot. (left a comment on it) |

For future reference you shouldn't post the image you want to submit. There should be anonymity in the challenge. |

Lots of entries on this one. I have been sitting here for the past 20 minutes switching between two photos, wondering which I should go with. One is really strong photographically, but the other is simple, uncluttered and initially (on 3 second views) probably better for that. Well, I have decided to stick with my original, the one that is stronger photographically. So here I am, ready for another sub 5 score, but that is fine.
Good luck to all of us. This will most likely be one very juicy challenge. Probably some of the best photos we have seen for awhile.
