Lovely quotes:
“To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.” ~ Mary Oliver

"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." ~ Dalai Lama

“Time is a created thing. To say ‘I don’t have time’ is to say, ‘I don’t want to’.” ~ Lao Tzu

Balanced

January 23rd, 2010 by Fond of Snape

Photohunt courtesy of TNChick:

One of the rules of photography is to divide pictures into thirds, a sort of compositional tool that produces a nicely balanced picture…do you think that was done well with this shot?

Skelly, balanced on Max’s head! Look at Max’s eye…he looks a bit nervous, eh?

   1/3 foreground, 1/3 mountain and 1/3 sky. Great shot on the dog too. I always enjoy getting around and seeing the different views of this weeks theme. Yours is cool!
   Drop by and check mine here.

   I have a nice photo book on fundamentals sitting here staring at me – I suppose I would know about your composition tip had I read it yet. I like learning through you instead!

   I think Max has much better balance than that chick who fell into the Picasso painting and tore the damn thing during an art class!

    Max looks a little petrified, ha ha.
