Asymmetry in Nature - The Australian Bush

This tree is unashamedly asymmetric! Asymmetric subjects create their own compositional challenges, and the placement of this tree in a composition was tricky. In this instance, I have placed the tree trunk just slightly left of centre, breaking the classic compositional rule of thirds. However, the leafy branches diverge to fill about 2/3 of the sky and the background trees occupy approximately the lower third of the frame.  So, despite the centrally placed subject this is actually a composition of thirds.
