I have been following the 'Daily Challenge' for quite some time 'as an observer' and have been intriqued by the time and commitment of the users on this forum. You have started year 2013 with the rule of thirds and thought it was time to jump in. Only heard of the rule of thirds a few short months ago from my sis who is also a member of UHH. Not sure if I totally meet the rule of thirds on this photo; taken from looking through our patio window.
