While this complies to the "rule of thirds" , But I found that I really liked the balance of this image more than anything (the action was nice too)

The light was coming from the "wrong direction" so I went with a silhouette.
I did not want a stark silhouette, so I added about 2/3 of a stop of light to the metered value.

These kind of posts are really helpful James. I wonder if we could gather them in one place one day so people in the months to come can see them.

Anyway, great action here also. I see they really kicked up the dust in their squabble!

You're right, the balance here is superb and really shows some thought went into the composition. Great post!

Besides the fact that I really like this one.....color, action, silhouette, what I find so helpful is the grid. It makes the point. I find myself just taking two fingers and drawing "lines" across and up and down the screen to find the points....... but this puts it up there. A really nice learning tool!!!

I too am finding these image comparison and grids on pictures to be very informative. Learning a lot here.
