Yes please read the posting rules.
But as it is your first post, I'll give you some feedback.
I think it is pretty easy to tell if something obeys the rule of thirds. Just see if it lines up with thirds! Your postcard version appears to work. The two pairs of legs more or less line up with the vertical thirds and end on the lower horizontal third. So in that sense, yes it does follow the rule of thirds.
It also seems to be a bit out of focus, or maybe you used digital zoom or cropped this way down. The caption "Atlantic Ocean" makes me think, "Uh so where's the ocean?" Perhaps the name of the beach would be more appropriate.
Keep posting and reading. You'll learn a lot here.
