Rule of Thirds - Definition

The rule of thirds is and imaginable grid made up of 4 lines 2 horizontal and 2 vertical evenly spaced making up 9 sections. The 4 points where the lines meet makes up points where compositional elements should be placed, making it aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
















Below is an example of how a picture should look with the rule of thirds. As you can see the Leaf is positioned to the right of the picture and is running along the right line and the base of the leaf is on the 3rd intersection.
