Picture Perfect

Every once in a while a really great photo gets snapped. Try as we might to set everything up just right - lighting, elements, color, etc. - most of the time you really don't know if you got 'the one' until you get your film developed; or in the case of digital, get your shots downloaded to your computer screen so you can study them closely. Good photographers think in terms of "thirds" when setting up shots...framing the photo vertically or horizontally in thirds helps construct a photo that is pleasing to the eye. It's even better when the thirds are distinct colors, but complementary. And it is even better yet if you can take your thirds and create depth: close; midrange; and background. The photo below is absolutely perfect. Not only is the rule of thirds used nicely, but can their be anything more precious than that cutle little 'third' in the foreground? Oh, by the way...This is a "Photo by Mommy."
