Rule of Thirds

Image 1: Red Squirrel

Image 2: Red Squirrel
I enjoyed the rule of thirds assignment because it made you purposely think about space and alignment of objects with the space surrounding them.  I took hundreds of pictures for the assignment, as there is such as range of possibilities to choose from in regard to subject matter.  My favorites, however, were of a little red squirrel at Lake Dardanelle State Park.  He seemed just as curious about me as I was of him and posed for me, not only while clinging to the side of the tree [image 1], but also just perched in the crook of the old oak which he had made his home [image 2]. 

The other images are old ones which I have taken over the past year.  After receiving this assignment I went through my old files to find inspiration, kind of like going through Pinterest, but in this case, with my own work.  I thought I would share them with you.
