When taking the picture of the jewelry tree, I decided that the best composition for it would be to follow the rule of thirds and place the “trunk” of the tree on the 1/3 line. I took different pictures from different vantage points and from putting the “trunk” on the 1/2 and 2/3 line, but the former was too boring and the latter made the tree look like it was going to topple out of the frame. I think this piece is rather successful. My only problems with it are that the tree is a bit crooked and the trunk is not perfectly on the 1/3 line.
