David Billingsley used this rule to photograph this Least bittern. The body of the heron is in the left third of the frame and its head is pointing into the photograph. It is not only a portrait photo of the bird but the viewer is made to wonder what the bird is looking at.
Aubrey Cruse applied the "Thirds Rule" on this photo of a Painted bunting at High Island. The bird is placed in the upper right power point leaving room for you to see its reflection in the pool of water. The viewer sees this gorgeous bird twice.
Ken Coleman places the horizon in the bottom third emphasizing the dynamic cloudy sky and sunset behind the John Hartman Bridge in Baytown, Texas. Placing the subject in the middle also works because the viewer's eyes begin at the top corners of the photo and move to the bridge and sunset.
In this photograph of Salem Lutheran Church in Whitehall, Texas, I placed the horizon in the upper third of the photograph and the church in the upper right power point. The composition emphasizes the blue bonnets and paintbrushes which sets the beauty of the landscape and the church remains the subject and focus of the photograph.
