Thank you so much! The rule of thirds is all about composition, where the subject you are photographing lies in your overall image. Placing a grid of 2 horizontal and vertical lines over your image (sectioning your image into 3's) you can judge where certain elements of your subject lies in your image, making your subject stand out. I hope this explains things okay!

They found their own way back.

The article Exploring the rich colour palette of Morocco by Katie Dalrymple-Hamilton Feb. 19, 2024, for the Exceptional Travel website associates green with the “religious colours” in religious buildings.

Its author explains that animal and people images never enter into Islamic decorations, that Islam instead features colors, scripts and symbols.

Dalrymple-Hamilton gives black, blue, green, ochre, red and white as the historic six colors for religious buildings. She heeds green as the fertility-, growth-, prosperity-heralding color of paradise and of the Prophet Muhammad. She indicates that the King’s Palace, the important mausoleums and the mosques inspire green roofs and that city and town traditional buildings invoke green ceramic tiles and mosaics.

The above meanings and traditions might motivate green colors in Moroccan mirrors, mightn’t they?

Thank you for your comment below, in answer to my previous observation and question.

The second paragraph to the second subheading, Anglesey, advises us that "In later years the rats were exterminated by poisoning and puffins were restored. They now form part of the animal population of the island, along with gulls, cormorants and shag."

Did the puffin population decide on their own to dwell once again on Puffin Island or did some humans domicile them there once more?

Perhaps the 14th item under the sixth subheading, Equine Photography Topics Available To Learn, accounts for therapeutic equine-human interactions.

Improving teamwork always aids everybody and everything. Horses ascertain what they ask of us and what we ask of them.

And they cooperate with photo opps by never a "bad hair" day.

One discerns the above truth in the charming image, on the front cover of your product line How to photograph horses and their humans, of the beautifully coiffed and groomed horse making eye contact with us, correct?

The computer crashed before I could continue to another component of my observation and question immediately below.

Parfrey's glen aids those whom rocky, watery mini gardens allure.

Can you imagine the environmental beauty, health and learning from a back-yard -- or front-yard ;-D -- rocky, stony, watery garden with Arcadian flycatchers and cerulean warblers in mountain maples and yellow birches amidst northern blue monkshood-, round-stemmed false foxglove-, Skinner's pale false foxglove-covered cultivations?

Northern, it is not far from MAnglesey to thr Faroes, especially for a flying species

Thank you for your comment below, in answer to my previous, same-day observation and question.

Online sources call three subspecies of Atlantic puffins (Fratercula arctica) F.a. arctica of southern Iceland, F.a. grabae of the Faroes and F.a. naumanni of northern Iceland.

They concede northern ranges of
coastal easternmost Canada and United States;
coastal Greenland.

They consider northern ranges of coastal Russia westward through
coastal Scandinavia;
the United Kingdom,

They count western ranges
from coastal France;
through Spain and Portugal;
to Morocco.

Is the Anglesey puffin among the Faroes subspecies?

Is it not known the mutual benefits of equine- and feline-sentient interactions? Famous racehorses with their feline companions on their backs number among images beloved to some Unitedstatesians!

Cultivated, semi-cultivated, semi-wild, wild places are such uplifting ways to acquaint oneself with our Blue Marble!

Isn't it inspirational to imagine world gardens that country-, island-iconic plants inhabit to inspire human earthly inhabitants?

What plants might Canary Islanders muster? Most likely, date palms and dragon trees and pines, correct? And what else?

El Greco life and works assume an amenability to biography, film and historical fiction.

How difficult could it be to collect everything conjectured, hypothesized, known about why such a beautiful young lady concerns herself with the gardens connected to the El Greco site of Toledo, Spain?

My second subheading acclaims plants abide-able in Venice.

Venetian gardens, for example, can cultivate such edibles as apples, artichokes, beans, cabbage, cherries, chestnuts, citrus, figs, hickories, lemons, limes, mulberries, olives, onions, peaches, pears, plums, pomegranates, potatoes, pumpkins, tomatoes and wild garlic.

Isn't it inviting to imagine inhabiting "downtown" Venice with such drinkables and edibles in the garden, in the interior and on the roof?

The answer to the last-line question in the comment box immediately below, from Oct. 31, 2024, is Scotland!

Is it a surprise that Scotland inspires a number of interesting iterations of electric vehicles some 150-plus years after their ancestors?

Ringtail possums appear as so amenable to their counterpart articulation as plush toys.

In a home or museum -- children and/or grown-up ;-D -- setting, I imagine them in a learning-friendly setting of their favorite drinkable and edible sources as real or toy flowering, fruiting, leafing, nectaring Bottle brush (Callistemon, Grevillea); Eucalyptus and gum (Angophora, Corymbia, Eucalyptus); Oleander and wattle (Acacia); She-oak (Allocasuarina); and Tea tree (Leptospermum).

Might it not be environmentally, sustainably proactive to have a toy road with toy vehicles or a toy train station with toy tracks and trains, alongside of which a toy sign mentioning "Stop for common ringtail possums!"?

Ships try to avoid storms and we have a very good meteorological service. So . But storms are not always avoidable.
