nice shot. but could it be better made if maybe the photo was taken observing the 1/3 rule?

 

[StreetShooter]

You mean like this?

 

[Dog]

yes yes. much nicer now. maybe removing the contrasty subjects (like the tree on the right) will further improve it? what do you think?

 

[StreetShooter]

Then the guy would be in the centre, right?

 

[Dog]

actually i was thinking of maybe cropping off a quarter on the right and a sixth on the left. what do you think?

 

[StreetShooter]

Like this, hah?

 

[Dog]

exactly.

what do you think?

ziploc wrote this in another thread...

"Oh... I mean to follow the rule of the thirds. Draw two lines horizontally to split the pic into 3 equal parts, and do the same vertically. These lines are call "the 3rds". The 3rds, together with the 4 intersection points of those lines, are generally where you want to place your subject, or the part(s) of the subject you want to emphasize."

...i also learnt something from there...
