 This is my first challenge so I have no idea what to expect. I took this photo of my son and was paying attention to where his face was attempting to follow the rule of thirds. It is so hard for me to make a conscious effort to do this because I have always just naturally centered my subject right in the middle of the screen. I am learning more every day and have enjoyed the process so much. I used natural light with this and also have recently started learning to take manual photos, which has opened up a whole new world for me. I had always used flash and the auto button on my point and shoot. This new camera is my new best friend.

Good use of ROT. I think the face is a little too bright though. Otherwise, very nice picture.

I like the idea of this but it is slightly "soft" and maybe a touch overexposed.
