Yeah... its easy to take a photo using the rule of thirds, but its a challenge to take a compelling, original, and creative one following the rule. That will be the challenge.
It occurs to me that there may be people on here that aren't familiar with the Rule of Thirds concept and that in order to vote on this challenge it would be a good idea for
them to know, hence here are a few links.
I don't feel qualified. I got a DNMC comment in the original ROT challenge with my point & shoot camera. :-(
I think what you need to do is measure your image carefully, to ensure that the main point of interest is precisely at the intersection defined by the rule of thirds. If it is off even a little, then I will be justified in declaring it DNMC and giving it a 1.

WOW - who put poop in your Cheerios this morning? :~P I'm assuming your comment was tongue in cheek.
I'm noticing that the top ten last time were all color. Hmmmm
It's interesting because if you look at the grid pattern, it is really "rule of 9ths."

This was one of the things that bugged me when using my 30 day trial of CS4. In Gimp the crop tool can be set up with a one button click to have a "rule of thirds" visable as you create/move/resize the crop. I use it all the time, even when I decide to break the "rule".

It's always been a bother to me as well. I normally crop to how I like then, once cropped, adjust with some nudging to accommodate 1/3 lines (if the need to use them arises) --- note: one need "hide" the cropped content, not "delete" it (option on the tool bar for the crop tool) to nudge post-cropped content.

Sounds like a solid plan. I am going to use my GPS to find the exact coordinates of each of the four points on the rule of thirds and let the DNMCs fly. Hey, with four points it should really be called the "rule of fourths"!
Use lightroom. It has a grid set up automatically for ROT when you choose to crop. When you choose to rotate (for leveling the horizon) it automatically brings up a finer grid.
