While walking the trails of Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, I came upon this branch, unconnected to any tree but help by a vine's grip. "Air plants," of the genus Tillandsia. This type of air plant grows on tree branches (or anything else) and derives its food from sunlight and water from the air.
This framing of the branching hanging down in the center, flanked by a palm tree trunk on the left and Florida scrub palmetto on the right.
The top third contains the more dramatic plant, while the lower third contains the larger.
The middle third contains nothing.
Fox found it interesting.

Taken in a macro style, these two Passion Flower blooms show the complex beauty of a passion flower. The three pointed tips of the stamen on top, the three points of the carpel underneath, the many, dramatic coronal filaments, and the petals, are all plainly in focus in the foreground flower, and just slightly out of focus on the background flower.
The composition lends itself to the Rule of Thirds, with two flowers on the bottom 2/3, with top 1/3 allowing for headspace.
The foreground flower also takes up the left 2/3, and the background flower the right 1/3.
