Rule of Thirds, Sun

The Rule of Thirds can be explained that sometimes when things are off center, they are more visually interesting. Here's my photo for this week's 52Frames challenge, Rule of Thirds.

"Third Sun"
Sunrise

Camera: Samsung J7
Location: Israel

Hope you like it. Some people, especially if you also follow my 365Project photos, you'll see that the location keeps turning up. Taking pictures is great when waiting for a ride.

52Frames, "Rule of Thirds"

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.

"From Biblical Times"
This jug/container is modeled after the three thousand (3,000) year old giant storage jugs that had been found in the archaeological site of Biblical Shiloh, a few minutes walk from my Shiloh home. The remains of raisins and wheat have been found in those containers at the site. Some of the containers/jugs are on display in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem.

Camera: Canon Canon IXUS 145
Location: Shiloh, Israel

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?
