So I have now submitted to the "Thirds" challenge but was it a good call.
I spend 3 hours setting up the "Bubbles" picture only to go out and take what i thought was a better thirds shot.
What sort of votes would my bubbles picture have got, so I can see if i made the right choice. Thanks in advance

Bob, to be brutally frank, I would have rated the bubbles around a 3 or 4. I realize that not all bubbles are irredescent and floating in the air, but if you hadn't said these were bubbles, I wouldn't have known what they were.

I relate to your experience. I spent all afternoon fooling around with bubbles (in chocolate milk), only to have a perfect thirds picture "fall" into my camera in about three shots!

Moral of the story: Go with the flow.

Hi Bob, it's a little hard to tell 'coz, when I vote, an important element is competition, depends on how many other "better" or "worse" shots there are. I'm a little new at this as well and maybe others have a different approach. As is, I would give it probably a 5 or 6. The thumbnail doesn't do the image justice 'coz it comes out flat. But the enlarged vision shows some good effort in colour tones and originality.

Shot this for the rule of thirds, but decided to go with bubbles.

Thanks for the replys, I think I would have given it a 4 for the challenge and 11 for the time I spent doing it ;-)

Well we'll see how my thirds entery goes.
