Our learning assignment for October is centering vs. the Rule of Thirds. We've studied the rule of thirds and centering methods of composition. This assignment reinforced these methods of composition by comparing and contrasting them. Each entry for this assignment included two photos. For this assignment our members took two photographs of the same subject. One photo used the centering composition method and the other used the rule of thirds method. The entrants then had to decide which of the photos is the strongest of the two compositions.

Congratulations to our winner of the Composition Choices Assignment #56 - AmrJoe!
