What is the Thirds Rule?

As stated in wikipedia for this rule:

The rule of thirds is a compositional rule of thumb in visual arts such as painting, photography and design. The rule states that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections. Proponents of the technique claim that aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject would.

Applying the Rule of thirds:

I was busy looking for a subject when I saw a commotion. A mother was shouting furiously. His son was trying an adventure of his life. The wooden pathway was not in use. Very dangerous. He was busy. His mother waiting  at the other end. Mad as hell.  Uh-Oh. Lol


He was the son of our client in Cotonou, Benin, Africa. I notice he was working the boat. Seriously at work. I snapped away. High contrast due to the time of day. Sun too hot, the shadows too fierced. But all in all I liked it.
