For 52Frames this week the challenge was "Rule of Thirds," which in simple terms means that the focal point of the photo has to be off-center, asymmetric. My general tendency, even seen photos I took as a child under the age of ten, is to compose symmetric pictures. Here's the photo I sent in this week.
And here are the two I almost sent:
All of these photos have been cropped a bit to emphasize the proper ratio of thirds, but no other photo-editing was done. And the other three were all taken in Jerusalem.
Did I choose well? What do you think?

Shalom!
The photo you chose demonstrates the ability to find complexity in the subtlety of a limited color range. The others are nice scenes, but they aren't as interesting as the limited/complex contrast. The contrast of the smooth jug with the rough rocks also grabs one's eye.
As far as the "Rule of Thirds" is concerned, what I learned in art school is that once rules have been mastered, they can be successfully broken by someone with sufficient skill.
