The rule of thirds is something you learn to see if you haven’t got this ”seeing” from the start. I believe that the more photos you take – and study other photographers’ works – the easier you will find your own ”seeing” of what looks best. Then it doesn ‘t have to follow any rules at all…really.
My try for the WordPress challenge is tulips and a leaf from my ”Russian” begonia. Click here for more entries.

That tulip image …. wow, A-C! but the leaf close up is my favorite. The little roughness and sadness.
My favourite too…
Love the luscious red tulip. 🙂
The tulip is such a vibrant colour, a good contrast to the hairy little begonia leaf
Bellissime, complimenti!
Ciao, Pat
Thank you for always giving me fantastic support ! Ciao
OH well, I must admit that the leaves show me indisputably that this is, indeed, a begonia ! I have been wondering whether or not to believe you, Ann Christine … [grin]
You are a tough woman to convince…
[grin] And a really terrible tease …
Noooooo you don’t say…..
Well, after all, you ARE very slow, A-C …

”Slow down and enjoy life. It’s not only the scenery you miss by going to fast – you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.”
Touchée !
Good start for next week tomorrow…the first National Tests (stressts…)
Why, A-C …?
Trying to keep calm and ”slow” in order not to get too stressed…This week starts the tests and I have got 68 students doing 4 tests each during the following weeks.
Jesu cristus. All is understood !
You could come over and help …me survive this ordeal 😉
COOL … coolness … not to say cold, I s’pose. How very much more welcome it would be than this BLOODY humidity.
Both gorgeous.
