Does anyone have any suggestions for how to decide between following the "rule of thirds" versus going with a more centered portrait framing?
Finally, I include the last good shot from that session - Carlotta in her Liza wig and tassels (yes - she can twirl them).

This is good example of "ROT's" and "centering" on one pose.
She crosses the frame from upper left to lower right, BUT, even though her head is off center..She is balanced from top left to bottom right. It works well here.
The Key is "Balance" or the "Appearance of Balance" for the ROT's. this pose gives the "Appearance of Balance" even though she posed diagonally in the frame...Nicely done.
