Photo Blog Thirty-Five: Rule of Thirds Emotion

Shutter speed 1/80, aperture 2.8, ISO 100

龙龙 follows me as I talk a walk around my neighborhood block, bouncing from yard to yard, and then disappears into a neighbor’s green hedges. Now, it’s my turn to follow.
This perspective through the hedge places his body at the top-right intersection of an imagined grid of thirds. The focus on the background – on this cat’s retreating form and the dirt and pine needles around areas he passed – creates a feeling of mysteriousness and curiosity.

Here’s another photo. 龙龙 looks especially like Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon in this view.
