Tina introduces us to the rule of three for this challenge. The rule says that images with three subjects make them more interesting and memorable. Our challenge is to include images with three subjects.
I’ve included a few images of groups of three I found in nature.






Last week Egidio challenged us to be creative while we were stuck in one place for 30 or more minutes. Your responses were wonderful. Thank you to everyone who joined the challenge..
Many thanks to Tina for this week’s challenge. If you would like to join the challenge please be sure to tag your post with Lens-Artists and include a link back to her post Lens-Artists #400: The Rule of Three.
Be sure to check back on Saturday, June 6 at noon eastern time when Patti will be your host for the challenge.

Great choices, Beth.
I particularly like the first image where the pelican has a fish in its mouth. That’s a rare sighting in itself.

Thanks Vicki! I watched the pelican catch the fish and then eat it. He managed to keep it away from the other pelicans.

Lovely images, Beth! Your groups of three work beautifully for the theme. I especially enjoyed the three pelicans, such a graceful trio, and the three puffins, I’ve never seen these unique‑looking birds where I live in Cyprus.
