| Isn't this just a "Rule-of-thirds" challenge, or am I missing something? |

Doesn't have to be 'rule of thirds', just put your subject anywhere except slap bang in the middle.
You do have to have fun though, it says so in the description.

There's more than one way to interpret "off-center."
Even if using it as a purely positional phrase, there's quite a few other options than centered, one-third of the span, or at the edge.
I'm using more than one meaning of the term (I think), and I had fun, so there! |

It doesn't have to be 'negative space', either, necessarily; it would work fine as a subject that clearly stands out from the background, e.g., a squirrel on a flowered branch is a fairly busy photo (compared to something against a plain background), but if it were to one side of center or above it or both it would qualify as on-topic IMO, since one would presume the squirrel was your subject. It'll only be in terribly busy photos where it'll be hard to tell.
And yeah, it could be anywhere in the photograph. In one corner, sure, but just to the left of center would be just as on-topic. |

| My son volunteered one of his Green Party friends to pose for my off-center picture. |

Anything you want, I believe is the point. You could shoot a flower, a kid, a sunset, a puddle, a droplet-splat, an insane reflection in a glass full of water .... or anything else. Just don't center it.

Mavrik, take a picture of a white wall, then title it something indicating that the subject is so far off-center, it's out of the frame.
That's off-center enough for this LMV. ;-) |
