The third rule
Page 10
One yawning, scratching, jumping,
flying, fluffing or fighting shot can have
more impact next to a write-up than
dozens of images of your subject simply
looking "as is."
Filling the frame and isolating your subject dead centre is generally the
hallmark of a beginner, but by applying the rule of thirds* and thereby
showing something of the animals environment, makes better copy for
publishers these days. So try too for the professional touch.
*An artistic rule of thumb for dividing a picture equally into three, horizontally or
vertically and placing the main subject to one of the thirds up or down, or to the left
or right.
