    Default February voting thread - Rule of Thirds

    7 Days to vote, and vote for as many as you like.

    Voting Guide (which you can ignore of course)
    • Photographs should be judged on how well they meet the current challenge topic.
    • Photography equipment used should not be a criterion for rating a photo.
    • Evaluate the photo in various aspects, set a consistent norm and give your vote accordingly
    • If you don't vote for a picture, please try to provide a comment on the reason and how the shot could be improved.

    If any of you can't see one or more of the pictures drop me a PM listing what you can't see and I'll stick them on Flickr or something similar.

    A great standard overall this month folks, good work.

    Votes this month for Mainze and Peachbum. I love images that are bold and striking, and both of these pictures fit the bill and meet the theme really well.

    Mainze - I love the subject, composure, tones and colours in this picture. Most people would have tried to get the cat facing the camera but I think the image is all the more striking for having the cat in profile. Really good, especially for a debut effort. Cap doffed in your direction.

    Peachbum - Another bold image and I really like the composition. I've been taking a lot of pictures a bit like this lately. It takes a good eye to make a picture that is so eye-catching out of such an everyday object. I also love how the composition lets they eye roam throughout the picture. Lovely stuff!

    Full C&C on all pictures will come later. One thing I'd like to point out, though - while the standard of images is getting noticeably better each month, the titles are getting more and more cheesy! I don't mean to kick off the debate about the naming of pictures again but I'm going to do it anyway!

    Just one vote from me, as Iain Hesford's Bait Box's shot is easily my favourite for the month.

    A clever way to grid the shot, and a really nice image to boot.

    Voted for hesfords bait box. I've got basic knowledge of photography and the grid reminded me of the examples of rule of third that is in books. (which is prob the intent). I liked the cat one too but assumed it's just one vote.

    Great photo's this month

    My 3 choices are :

    Amnorrageordie - Ripples, Loch Lubnaig
    Lovely photo and like the use of the right in the corner to emphasise the rule of thirds

    clyde - Deep concentration
    Always love photo's from Clyde and this one is great also, love the mysterious look to the photo.

    not spavin - Love on the line
    Great picture , love the balloons on the line, looks really good and and good capture of it (as im sure the balloons didnt just stay still).

    Just one vote from me to keep it easy, Xigu Noir. Really love this shot mainly for it's grandeur more than anything.

    There are loads of great shots in here for sure, too many to comment on them all but, Peachbum - I think your shot would be perfect for the March Comp, but came a close 3rd this month ! Also the shot from Clyde ran very close to getting my vote, they are the kind of shots I want to be taking somewhere down the line!

    Now that I've got a vote I feel safe to comment .

    Voted for three entries

    It's only a personal opinion but here goes.

    The Great Soprendo.
    Nice shot but can only be classed as a silhouette

    TaipeiSAFC
    Great night shot.

    Iain Hesfords Bait Box
    Although its divided into thirds the main subject is dead centre.

    Hue Jorgan.
    Good use of Rule of Thirds. Didn't need the full description though as the photo tell the story.
    Vote

    Amnorageordie.
    Nice foreground but the upper half of the picture needed more detail.

    Madmackem.
    Too cluttered.

    Tiredeyes.

    Dividing into three doesn't mean its rule of thirds.

    Les the Scientist.
    Same as Tiredeyes.

    Clyde.
    Meets the criteria but figure a distraction.

    Mainze.
    Another favourite
    love the subtle colours and composition.
    Vote

    Lucky Knickers.
    Like it but can't make my mind up as to the main subject. The street lamp or the advert.

    Peachbum.
    Nice clear, sharp image and composition
    Vote

    Phil.
    Sorry but just can't see the rule of thirds.

    Not Spavin.

    A tighter crop and more detail in the balloons may have done it for me.

    SpongeBob Max.
    Nice thinking and setup but everything is to close to the bottom of the frame.

    Thankheaven for Shed 7.
    Nice composition, but it had to be one of those days when there was no detail in the sky..

    Farralad.
    Would have got a vote but it would benefited from a tighter crop.

    Ghost of EH7
    Don't see the Rule of thirds.
    Eyes keep wandering from on subject to the other.

    Hope I haven't offended anyone or missed anyone out.
