Whether objects, petals, leaves whatever, a picture seems to have more 'power' when the subject(s) are in threes. Sometimes it is do to a triangular composition, or structure, but sometimes merely because it is three of something related. Why, I have no idea, but it seems to be true.

These aren't great, and meant only to illustrate the effect, imagine if they were of only one object, or a single part...they would not be any good at all. But to me the 'threes) make them a better shot. I would be greatly interested in hearing others comments, and thoughts on this.

Couple of Canon bodies, a couple of Canon lens, few gadgets all stuffed in a bag...and a stick, and a tripod.

Who is this Three person? Three's what? ;)

What you're discussing is real, and is AKA the 'Rule of Odds.'

I want to thank you for that link. bw! That guy has some great photography videos. Somehow had never run across them before. Just the Master Class series alone would be worth paying for.
