Rule of thirds
When using the rule of thirds for this week's assignment I realized that I was putting more and more thought into composing my photos and thinking about the aesthetics of it. What will everyone else will see in the photo, and will I be able capture what my eye and mind were already composing in my head? 
It was a great experience to go through and I think the result is similar with what I was expecting. I have to admit in the first picture I really like how the shadows play out. I'm not sure why the same shadows did not appear in the second, but overall it is more pleasing. I think by using the rule of thirds in this instance the eye is not focused on the single screw, but on the lines formed by the wood as well. I also like the fact that there is a play of geometric figures, circles, star and the vertical lines.

I have to agree with you about the interesting quality of the first photo. But I wonder if that is because the shadow which is the focal point for both you and I in that photo falls into that left third of the photo!?!? Hmmm very interesting and the second one is great because of all that wonderful expanse of wood...
I didn't think of it that way, as the shadow being the focal point, but it makes sense. I was set on the screw as being in the center and main focus, although my eye did wander to the shadows.
