Work the edges...

Another Tuesday, another challenge! Last weeks challenge was 'Squares', something I didn't really take the time to complete... I ended up submitting a really lazy photo which is below...

Like I said, really, really lazy!! My favourites from this week are below...

This weeks challenge actually requires some effort, and it's all about breaking rules. It's called 'work the edges', and is explained as follows...


What To Do: 
Take several photos where the subject isn’t in the middle, and doesn’t obey the rule of thirds.  Take it to an extreme and make sure there is nothing of importance in the centre of the photo.  Push the subject right to the edge of the frame, or into a corner – keep it well away from a thirds line. 
Once you’ve taken several photos like that, go back through them and look at them carefully.  Notice how your eye moves around the frame when there’s nothing in the middle for it to be drawn to immediately? 
Pick one photo from the set which you think has the most interesting effect on you as a viewer, and then send it in.
Some ideas in my head already which is good news!
