Hey, nice work on re-laying out the orignal tutorial. The visual aids are great. I'm so glad you include the rule of thirds explained clearly in here, i remember that being the first rule of photography i learned and it's amazing how much just that one rule helps improve anyones photography. Hip.

I generally try to have as much fun as possible. . .otherwise. . .what fun is it?

Thanks. I think the rule of thirds is one of the easiest to comprehend. That's why I added it. It's funny how the guide to critiques, becomes a small guide to photography

Thank you verry much for the note. This is so more helping for me seeing in a more "wide" view the piece of art and commenting in the right way. Thank you again.

Bogdan.
