Before: First Initial Picture without using compositional rules.

After: To gain closer access and a better view of the bridge I crossed over and stood up over the railing.  I have taken two images using the rule of thirds: the first image has utilised the bottom two thirds of the picture to encompass the bridge; in the second image I have used the  right two thirds which I think works better as I have brought more focus to the bush at the side and also have a better section of the water running under the bridge as well as the whole bridge in the picture.


Before



After: In both images, to avoid cropping the steeple from view, I have used portrait orientation instead of landscape. In the first image I have applied the rule of thirds and captured most of the image in the left two thirds of the picture, in the second one I have captured most of the image in the bottom two thirds.

 Before

 After: Here I have leaned over the railing to remove it from view which allows for most of the image to be captured in the bottom two thirds of the picture, I have also tried to incorporate the diagonals of the river path.

 Before

After: Tried to capture a nice S bend in these images.  I think the bottom one works better as I have tried to take it from a higher point allowing the path to dominate the left two thirds of the picture, again using a portrait orientation seems to work better here to apply the rule of thirds.

Before

After
With these images, I have taken the first photo (before) straight on without applying any rule of thirds.  With the second image (after) I stood on a container and pointed the camera directly downwards to catch the light and shadow of the object. I also applyed the rule of thirds so that the heart was placed in the bottom two thirds of the photograph, in contrast to the before image that was located directly in centre of the photo.
Test....
