because the tree fits exactly on the line The tree also fits onto the crossing point exactly. The camera technique I used is I think this is a successful image because its on the first line vertically and it reaches up to the first line horizontally. This bush also crosses the mid-point of the bottom part of the first vertical line. This is a good photo as it fits into the rule of thirds. its up against the first horizontal line. Also it fits on the first line but not all the way down As it stop about half way down the image.
