While I agree that the Rule of Thirds is a helpful tool, I also agree with many photographers that all rules are made to be broken or at least stretched somewhat, and there are times where stretching or breaking the Rule’s rule may produce a more interesting photograph than if the Rule is followed to the letter, especially when photographing Schutzhund dogs in action.
