Rule of Three

The Rule of the Three is a “basic” composition rule...it should be followed MOST of the time, but not all of it. If you want to learn more about the “rule” search YouTube.com for “rule of three” and look at what the professional photographers have to say about the subject. In the meantime, look at how WE have focused on the topic too.
