Before getting into Tina’s challenge, let me observe that this is Challenge Number 400 – Quite a milestone! I’ve only been around for about a year and a half. My first post to Lens-Artists was Challenge #336 – Only One Picture. But some have been around far longer – For all 400?! My congratulations to them.
Tina’s challenge this week is “The Rule of Three.” I was never aware of a rule of three, but after reading Tina’s post, it does make sense. Tina has some excellent examples. Here are my offerings.
The featured image above, and to the left, “Three Red Roses,” exhibits this concept well; two roses would be too few, four would be too many.

Searching through my photos, this monochrome image “Sprint Tree,” jumped out at me. The flowers in front are, of course, the focal point and the main subject, but the three tree branches behind also exemplify the rule of threes. Again, two would be too few, four too many. The result is a perfectly proportioned image
Here are two more images.
I seem to have many photographs of roses! For a change, here are three tulips.
Finally, here are two-and-a-half orchids.
This was a fun challenge. I wish I could find more photographs of things in threes beside flowers. Thanks to Tina for this week’s challenge. I’ll enjoy seeing what others come up with. Meanwhile, everyone have a good week!
