A fine, classic example of the use of the rule of thirds to divide and frame creating a well-balanced image, and adding depth to the macro genre. The central line within the image focusing on the subject and then the use of lighting is first class and demonstrates perfectly how to use the rule in a macro environment.

Perfect use of light, focus, colour and mood; the person provides an excellent focal point with the clothing colour distinct from the rest of the image palette. The eye is then drawn down all the highlights on the cattle straight along the centre of the image as if it is perfectly divided in three, with great use of framing using the rule of thirds.

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 1 and 250 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.
