Time for a quick mini challenge - it has been quite some time since we done one of these, other than the end of year challenges. Typically we try and focus mini challenges on photography techniques, and this time the theme is the rule of thirds. Of course, the best thing about rules is breaking them... But in this challenge lets embrace the rule of thirds and use it in the composition of the entries. From wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds:

"The rule of thirds is a compositional rule of thumb in visual arts such as painting, photography and design. The rule states 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 centering the subject would."
