Rules of Photography

Just about everything has rules, photography is no different most photographers were weaned on the rule of thirds, keeping your subject centered, the image below has no central subject, the lines of the pier draw you in to the image, the sea and sky give subtle thirds and another dimension, the lamp posts form a line that also draw the viewer into the image in search for a subject, all of this leaves the viewer to their imagination, the empty benches searching, some pictures tell a story this image leaves only questions.
