Thanks Vicki - high praise coming from you.

Using the classic "rule of thirds" has always done me well when framing a landscape shot, even more do-able now with ability to crop digitals...now if I can only get a better eye for the colors and patterns of objects like you show in some of your shots...

JMQ, I can't see your photo here at work, but your pics are always amazing.

Please share, "rule of thirds" - what's that?

Oh, I forgot - it's Savannah Bay. It was a little rough on that particular day. We absolutely fell in love with that beach, it was almost always desserted! Our own private beach, ahhhhh, how I would love to be back there again!

Rule of Thirds = divide the frame of the shot into thirds either vertically or horizontally and have something visually interesting happening in each third of the frame.

Awesome photo jmq, I definitely see the "rule"; I just usually shoot and click, now tho' I'll stop and consider your rule.

That's the crawl at Spring Bay, when we were there last year we had to share it with nekkid guy. :shock:

My favorite photo of yours is the cute little poolside visitor, could you post that one again, please?
