In photography, the rule of thirds is a type of composition in which an image is mentally divided evenly into thirds, both horizontally and vertically, and the subject of the image is placed at the intersection of those dividing lines, or along one of the lines itself.
The rule of thirds is one of the most useful composition techniques in photography. It's an important concept to learn as it can be used in all types of photography to produce images which are more engaging and better balanced.
Of course, rules should never be applied blindly, particularly in art, so you should think of it more as a handy "rule of thumb" rather than one that's set in stone. However, it will produce a pleasing photo more often than not, and is an excellent starting point for any composition.
The idea is that an off-centre composition is more pleasing to the eye and looks more natural than one where the subject is placed right in the middle of the frame. It also encourages you to make creative use of negative space, the empty areas around your subject.

That’s ok. If it hadn’t been for Jools recognizing it I wouldn’t have noticed either lol
It’s already in the poll so we’ll see how it goes. I won’t be able to give you the win though. It is a great image.

It was supposed to be the one that wasn't submitted last time. I confess, I have memory issues, so I thought this was NOT the one from last time. One is blue, one is bw, correct. I tried to find the contest, but, yeah, that didn't work ... We can just keep it out completely, since I'm so late in getting back to you, too. It's no biggie.
