Well, it has been a long time since I have had a favorite selected during voting, so I am pretty happy that I already have two favs. Also, this is a huge turn around... I was at 4.25 yesterday at this time:)

The thing about a challenge like this- is that DPC is for you to learn. If you do not understand the challenge (or the rule of thirds) you look it up, you clearly have internet access, even wikipedia has an article on it.

The idea behind the rule of thirds is that the important elements of the composition are placed where these lines intersect, or even along the lines. Just because you have SOMETHING on the point does not mean you have followed the 'rule'.

I'm not saying you should always do this, it's a guideline. But for this challenge- yes, this is exactly what you should do.


At the same time voters should take the time to know what rule of thirds is and take the time to see if it fits. Some people believe if the center of focus isn't on an intersection, then it doesn't fit. when I looked it up to be sure, I saw that the center of focus could be along one of the third lines. So you can have an object in the middle of the photograph as long as the Center of Focus (or the main part of your subject is on a third line).

Here is an example photo that has something in the center, but focus on a third line(for those who don't know)

haha...I'm obviously getting some DNMC votes, but that is because I tried to do a play on it. Even though it fits...I think everyone thinks I took the rule the wrong way.

albc28 - Excellent example you provided on more subtle use of rule of thirds. I was the one that PM'd WickedB because I did not want to provide details about a specific entry on the forum page here. The link you provide is exactly what I was trying to convey.

By the by - I DON'T have an entry or know anyone that does have an entry in this challenge...

That's getting into a grey area and one I personally don't agree with in terms of using the rule of thirds.

My personal opinion and nothing more.

Still OK, but this seems a really high scoring challenge. Even this score might end up in the high teens early 20's:

Always a pleasure to be in your company Enzo. Unless of course your score is a stinker. ;)
