The
Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds is a compositional rule of thumb in visual arts such as painting, photography and design.
The rule states that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections.

Wikipedia
In other words, instead of placing the subject you are shooting in the center, place it nearer to the corner of a photo (at one thirds from the side or corner of the photo), in theory the photo should look more interesting when this rule is followed.

@ Tranced I was thinking of a unique and wide theme, then searched google to look for photography themes then I found this.
The photo I used is exactly the same one, came from wikipedia.

At first I thought you wanted 3 objects (rule of three).
This is something else, interesting.
For the promotion of this competition i'd like to ask you to put the following link into your signature.
