Subtle Break of the Rule of Thirds

Josh Briscoe

The hydrant is centered in the photograph, but allows for examination of its lovely symmetry. The environment around the hydrant doesn't matter nearly as much as the hydrant itself in this photograph.

This photograph speaks to the artful design of the hydrant (as corny as that may sound). Shapes are readily apparent, as is the symmetry, mentioned earlier.

Update:
I have learned, however, that this does, in fact, conform to the Rule of Thirds. My fellow Utatans say (and I agree) that the two vertical lines follow the outline of the hydrant, while the top horizontal line divides the white top from the color change of the body, bringing focus to the white front part of the hydrant. Being able to center and still conform to the Rule of Thirds is a new one for me! :)
