Thirds

I like the way this seems to be in three distinct parts marked diagonally by colour change even if they’re not actually thirds. The task was to keep in mind the “rule of thirds“, a good guide to an effective photo.

I believe everything on this earth has a right to be here but some things and some people would be happiest if their space was far away from mine. (Flies and biting bugs take note!) I don’t like housework and think dust is Nature’s way of saying, “This is my space, I was here first.” View all posts by macmsue

Thank you, I’m lucky they were in the garden just when I needed them.

Actually you HAVE followed the rule of thirds because your primary subject, the yellow flower with the bee, is in the upper right of the photo. Your color blends are also beautiful. Well done.

Thanks for that, I always figure the thirds are supposed to be equal but if I so my subject was the bee then I’m on target.

Yeah!!!! Thanks for that. Portulaccas were a favourite of my dad’s and I’ve certainly come to appreciate their intense colour and toughness. Bees aren’t bad either!
