As an observation, I'm finding it hard to see how some of the photos entered fit the rule of thirds. The "rule" isn't "whatever you put on one of the grid intersections will be the focal point of the image" but "you can create a strong composition by putting the key element(s) of the composition on one of the grid intersections".

What might help, both in working out what you want to enter and also for when the moderators come to sort through things next week, is adding a short explanation of how you have used the rule in your image (some people have done that already).

Remember that not every picture benefits from the rule; the discipline of this week's assignment is to capture an image that is an example of when it does work.
