There's a pleasing balance in this photo: the patch of green branches in the upper left balances the fence in the lower right, and the photo is almost perfectly divided into thirds both along horizontal lines (sky, trees, ground) and vertical (the big tree and the tree with the sign). Not in too stilted or formal a way, but naturally.<br /><br />One can obviously get carried away with rules of this and that, and most aesthetic rules are made to be broken once you understand them (poetic license and all that), as long as you know <i>why</i> you are breaking them. Some remarkably amazing photos do not use the rule of thirds at all.
