In light of Steve Irwin, I couldn't help thinking "Crickey, look at this little fella" in regards to the tall grass picture.

Shawn read a little bit about the rule of thirds.  It will change the way you take pictures...

Not that your doing bad or anything...

Want to know something funny? I took a year of photography in highschool, and a personal friend of mine is a professional photographer. You dont use the rule of thirds in every picture, its just a general rule to follow for a certain effect.

Maybe you should do some reading on the rule of thirds, because it appears that the first and last picture follow the rule of thirds to the T, and the second picture has the car 1/3 of the way from the top of the picture, not in center.

I guess everyone knows more about photography than I do.

The rule of thirds is a rule of placement in photography.

I see the effect... but it always seems you are too far away from the shot.  All the pictures could be improved if you were to just move in a bit.


And trust me, I know the rule of thirds...

Lets see...
pic 1
-pole along right rule of 3rds
-car in the lower right rule of 3rds
-leading lines produced by the yellow curb
-repetition with the car angle and covered walkway angle
-despite some minor lense distortion, your verticles are verticle.- no crooked frame job here.

pic 2
much the same as 1

pic 3
-dynamic angle for dramatic feel <- Nice
-leading lines in grass and weeds

pic4
-leading lines from dirt road
-car along left rule of 3rds

Nothing really wrong with your pics Shawn...
