While I do tend to follow this "rule", for me it is primarily the angles of the composition. These are not the most stellar images, but they illustrate the topic, I think. I really like your crane silhouettes image! Thanks for hosting!

Enjoyed the postings so far! I thought the first photo was "a pair" but burkphoto pointed out it's actually three elements, with the fence tying together the two equines. Who knew?

I've been teaching art in a public school for 20+ years, for the past 12 I've taught mostly photography. The "rule of odds" is a basic composition element. Visual artists are taught about composition early on, part of which is the concept that groups of the same or similar elements are visually more interesting in odd number sets, 3, 5, 7, 9. Much like the "rule of thirds", another composition type all photographers should be aware of. When I introduce composition to my classes I break composition down to about 9 different forms, what I call "compositional structures"; ways to arrange the elements within a photograph: Rule of Thirds, Balance (asymmetrical/symmetrical), diagonals, Leading Lines, Radial, Framing, Foreground Interest, Filling the Frame, Repetition. Of course there can always be some overlapping of structures, a symmetrical composition can also be radial (spokes on a wheel). The great artists of the past, Renior, Da Vinci, Monet, Dali, Picasso, all understood and used composition. If, as a photographer, you like to take photos of cute puppies and stunning sunsets you may not be concerned with composition. For myself I use photography as a creative outlet, I consider myself a fine art photographer and I always consider the composition of every photograph I take. After all it is the foundation for all successful visual art.
