Rule of Thirds (Graphic)

Office

"Rule of Thirds"- The basic principle behind the rule of thirds is
to imagine breaking an image down into thirds both horizontally and
vertically so that you have 9 parts. The theory is that if you place
points of interest in the intersections or along the lines that your
photo becomes more balanced and will enable a viewer of the image
to interact with it more naturally.

NOTE: This image was created an a illustration for explaining the "Rule
of Thirds" for the Weekly Informal Challenge this week. JOIN IN.

I think i have a tendency to naturally apply something that is close to that "rule"
when i press the shutter but when it is fun...it does not feel like a rule ;))
Theory superbly rendered here!
Merci monsieur Scott and....bon wedding!

LOL at Robert! Better watch out someone may just steal this image and put some X & O in it. Thanks for hosting the challenge.
