Here is a picture I have taken of my darling dachshund Ruby. I have broken the photography rule of "thirds". While taking this picture I ditched the ol' theory that dividing your viewfinder into an imaginary three equal sections and centering your subject along one of those three lines (i.e. off center) will make for a more interesting and satisfying picture and went straight for the dead center approach. I believe by doing so I allowed the entire picture to become about Ruby. You see her face, first thing, and then your eye is drawn down to look at her scruffy little chest and other adorable attributes that may have been overlooked by using the rule of thirds approach. Also, by choosing to center my subject in the middle of the frame it allowed me to get much closer to it without making the scene look awkward and imbalanced in a bad way.
