RULE OF THIRDS is for the birds

As a photographer one of the first things learned is to create balance and interest in photographs when composing the shot in the viewfinder of the camera.

That is achieved by being mindful of the RULE OF THIRDS.This photograph takes a jocular approach to today’s theme the rule has been applied. Do you see it?
