From Wikipedia: “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. Proponents of the technique claim that aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject would.”
So does my photo contain tension, energy and interest?

Actually it does, that’s a very nice composition.
And if i’m not mistaken taken at 3:19 – 3 being a third of the overall 9 and 19mins being almost a third of the hour – deliberate?
Or can i still not tell the time on analogue clocks?

I think it looks great, I like that the clocks look like commuters, its a very good analogy.

I too think it looks great! makes for a very interesting image. I love to follow the rules but I have also learned that rules can be broken. Great job!
