Sandpiper And Sheep - Rule of Thirds

I had an opportunity to photograph an upland sandpiper (the wolf-whistler) with some sheep in the background. Seemed so fitting since it's a prairie bird.

Where to put the sandpiper in the cropped photo?



Rule of Thirds

I found a
script
for Paint Shop Pro users that inserts those lines.
But a person can do that fairly easily using the Grid feature too.

Most of the time I'm just happy to capture something good in a situation like this.
This was another roadside shot.
I got some with the sheep more in focus too before the sandpiper flew away.
I've seen upland sandpipers a lot this year.

Blogged previously.
