Rule of Thirds, Diagonal Lines, and Vectors

 This photo follows the rule of thirds with the use of the cloud peaking out in the upper right hand corner. Also the first statue, though it is a little close to the frame is also on that grid line on the upper left hand corner.

This photo also has diagonal lines that really lead you in. Depending on where you look first, whether it's the cloud or the first pillar, you see the diagonal line of the mountain and the diagonal line of the pillars leading you into the photo. With my eye I see the cloud first and follow the diagonal line down till I reach the second pillar and then follow the pillars into the photo, like a zig-zag pattern.

This photo also uses the graphic vector as the tops of the pillars especially,  lead your eye into the photo.

I thought this photo also emphasized the rule of thirds, diagonal line, and vectors.

In this photo the rule of thirds has to do with color. On the first bird in the photo the contrast of the yellow beak and the orange feet fall on the grid points. Also the heads of the first and last bird fall on the grid points.

The diagonal line can be seen from the lines of the building where the birds are sitting as well as the sloping line of the roof as well as the design on the building in the background.

Two vectors are used in this photo, both the graphic and the index. The graphic can be seen from the birds leading you into the pictures starting with the first and biggest bird and ending with the last and smallest looking bird. Also the use of and index vector can be seen from the beaks of the birds, especially from the first, second and the last. Their beaks look like arrows pointing you into the photo.
