Off To A Flyer With The Rule Of Thirds

The rule of thirds is a "rule of thumb" for composing visual images such as designs, films, paintings and photographs. The guideline proposes 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 placing the subject in the centre.
For today's image I decided to go down a much more literal interpretation, thereby almost completely ignoring the intended rule, and just placed three separate carefully chosen (o.k, completely at random!) elements in a third of the frame each - a flyer for a local music festival (which rather oddly only had half a face on it - but it kinda works for my blip!), our new pot plant and a section of our winter jasmine hedge on which everything else was rather precariously balanced as I took my shot!
