Most of the time when I frame my shots or edit them afterward, I always try to follow the basic rule of photography, that is, to compose subjects according to the Rule of Thirds.
Most of the photographs here have gone through cropping process either to eliminate unwanted elements or to tighten the composition so that there are some elements of the rule in them. The photo below is cropped from a 16:9 aspect ratio photograph.
Obviously, the original copy of the photograph, below, is shot without following any rule, except the plain rule of point and shoot, that is.
Below is the cropped photograph, reproduced with the Rule of Third grid lines. Of course, the grid lines manage to show show that even after cropping, this photo is still off the Rule of Thirds mark.
Wikipedia says, the Rule of Thirds is, “The rule of thirds is a compositional rule of thumb in visual arts such as painting, photography and design. The rule states that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections. Proponents of the technique claim that aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject would.”
The Digital Photography School (DPS) has also come up with an explanation on the Rule of Thirds.
By the way, I’ve participated in an assignment given by the DPS to its “students”, that includes me, titled “The Rule of Thirds”.
I’ve sent one of my citrus macro photos for the assignment. My submission and those of the other students can be viewed here.

The French gourmet cheese Bleu d’Auvergne has a wonderful aroma, a rich taste; the saltiness increases with the incidence of veining. The overall flavor is piquant but not overly sharp. Bleu d’Auvergne started life as an imitation of Roquefort, using cow’s milk in place of sheep’s milk. Legend has it that a peasant, around 1845, decided to inject his cheese with a blue mold that he found growing on his left-over bread (the motto being, waste not, want not). And thus, the gourmet cheese Bleu d’Auvergne was born. This French gourmet blue cheese comes from the region of Auvergne and the cheese is made from milk of Salers and Aubrac cows. The rind is very thin and so the cheese is usually wrapped in foil. The cheese is rich and creamy with a pale yellow color and scattered holes and well-defined greenish-blue veining. We cut and wrap this cheese in wedge of 8 ounces and 1 pound.
