A very well-executed example of how to use the rule of thirds within a landscape scene. The image is beautifully divided into layers of mist and light with the main focal point carefully placed off-center, whilst at the same time the image is seemingly divided up into three through direct foreground hedgerows, mid layers of trees, and a key focal point, then darker elevated trees to the rear or top of the image.

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 251 and 1000 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** This most well known of compositional guides can be useful to have in the back of your mind when the camera is to your eye, or you’re cropping an image. But it is as often broken as it is adhered to, and in breaking it there can be some more dramatic shots to be had. That said, this contest is designed for photos that do conform to the rule of thirds - having a prominent vertical or horizontal feature about a third of the way into the frame, which can produce a pleasing and well balanced feel. Any subjects are welcome.
