After hearing Lonnit's discussions on the power of thirds, I thought I would try out this power in a different way. Seeing this fine reflection in the floor in front of Nordstroms, I paused and waited while 10's of people pushed past me wondering what I was doing. I waited for the image to clear and only one person walked into the picture and quickly adjusted so that so some objects were on thirds but my main subject was not.

This is the first time I consciously broke the rule of thirds (only read about thirds in Wikipedia a few weeks ago) for my advantage. I wanted to see if the rule really works the way she says. By putting many objects at the thirds but putting a human (strongest attraction) not at the thirds, your eye is forced to examine the whole picture over and over. PS I love subtle color over B&W.
