JOURNAL #3 – **//Utilizing the Frame/Rule of Thirds//** Not all subject matter need be dead center. Think of your frame as a window; when you look out a window and see something beautiful is it always perfectly centered? This is where you start thinking of design and composition. Some images keep their subject matter in the edges of the frame, sometimes to give them context, sometimes to give **design aesthetic**. Find 5 images where the frame has been utilized and the image is not centered. Write a paragraph and tell me which ones you like the best and why.

Dandelion seeds blowing from stem By: Andy Roberts  Gettyimages Field Mushroom (Agaricus campestris) with Dandelion seeds, October  By: Garden Picture / Photolibrary     Gettyimages Close-up of a faucet, Delhi, India  By: photosindia   Gettyimages Rockville, Maryland, United States.

To me this picture captures my eye in a way that the others didn't. Not only is the main focus of the photo off center but there is also a low depth of field which puts more emphasis on the mushroom. In addition to the focus, there is also contrast between light and dark created by the sunlight and shadows.
