Rule of Third Assignment

After reading the information on Composition and Aesthetics, I found myself trying to be more aware of the surroundings in each of my photos I take.. I either leave the extras (tree, flowers, people what have you) in the photo or choose to crop them to make a more aesthetic photo.

I absolutely LOVE the Rules of Third rule!!! Really makes me stop and analyze my image & potential photos a bit more!!!
