Compose your frame




I decided to go with an older picture of mine. This is a very small praying mantis that I found on the edge of an outdoor table. Using the rule of thirds all of the lines lead the eye towards the mantis. The edge of the table and the lines in the sidewalk below flow diagonally giving the image the diagonal rule. The image focuses on the foreground more so than the background. The lines in the table help move the eye along the image. The edge of the table gives a path for the mantis to follow showing motion and direction. Also the direction of the mantis gives a clear indication of which direction it is going in.
