Rule of Thirds

I used the Rule of Thirds by placing the center of the flower at the intersection of the top third and the right third to insure the flower as our main focus.

This depicts the rule of thirds because the post follows the right third's line directing the eye all the way up to the sign, the subject, which lays right on the cross between the top and the right thirds. 

This picture shows the rule of thirds because the subject in focus is completely in the left third to create a more visually appealing view.
