This round the subject of the #POBPHOTOCONTEST was RULE OF THIRDS.
The rule of thirds is a basic principle of photography that suggests dividing an image into thirds both horizontally as vertically. By placing the horizon on 1/3 or 2/3 of the photo you often get a more interesting photograph. Just as placing a subject on the cross of the horizontal and vertical thirds does.
Our contestants of this round have submitted some great examples of this.

Tip: Both the iPhone as the Android camera have options to activate the 'rule of thirds' grid.
Here is the setting on iPhone:

I like the way cormorants stand straight up to dry their feathers in the sun and wind.
You have placed the bird nicely on the cross of the thirds! Nice photo!

2nd place: @frazfrea

Lovely sunset with the horizon on 1/3 of the photo; well done!
Your horizon is a little bit crooked though. You could use the aforementioned grid in your camera settings to prevent crooked horizons. But you can also correct it afterwards.
Nevertheless a beautiful photo.

1st place: @parissousa

Your model is placed on 1/3 of the image resulting in another photographic composition; negative space! Very nice photo!

I will send out the POB tokens to the winners as soon as possible.
A new round will be started after submitting this post, so stay tuned!

Photographing is my passion. Although I like photography in general, nature photography is one of my favourite subjects. I often go out with my camera for a hike to capture the beauty of nature.
I would love to read what you think of my photos in the comments.
