It was worth reading and I shared it

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for you reading! I'm glad you enjoyed it. What did you find most interesting about the article?

Wow! This is by far the best article I've read today! I learned something very valuable and plan on using this info immediately. Your support to solo mom-preneurs is phenomenal and appreciated.

Thanks for reading Sylvie! I'm glad you learned something you can use immediately. Love to support solo mom-preneurs!

Thanks for giving us a refresher. It's a great read. I'm saving a screen shot for myself.

You're very welcome, Mario! Thank you for reading!

Yes, I have used the golden ratio in my artworks. For my church, I always use it to design our sanctuary's backdrop. I read that we humans seem programmed to respond to it instinctively. And it is aptly called "divine proportions" for they are everywhere around us, on things we take delight in ; seemingly set by the divine Designer.

Thanks for commenting and giving a great example of how you use the Golden Ratio in a practical way - that's very interesting. It's amazing how the same number shows up over and over everywhere around us..

Just a tip if you are using DSLR cameras. On the Canon, for the rule of 3rds, depending of the model of the camera (like on Rebel XS) the 3rd's lines will be a little bit inner from the current grid line.

Thanks for reading and thank you for the tip!

i loved the post and for sure i am going to share this. thanks

Thank you, Neeraj! What part did you find most interesting?

Creating outstanding images is not as hard as people think. Your smartphone camera is more than capable of taking stunning photos, for example. Just turn off the flash 99% of the time, hold still and create an interesting shot in the frame (using the rule of thirds referenced in this post).

Thanks for the advice, Brooks!

You're welcome, Brandon - thanks for reading! Yep, those smartphones are definitely capable of taking stunning photos - and most them have a "rule of thirds" grid built in that people can use.

Where's the statistical evidence that making your images this way will help to increase engagement on social media?

Hi Mark - Thanks for reading and commenting! In this article, I show several different methods to create a "high quality image." All the statistics out there point to 1.) Photos are the most used and most engaging form of media, and 2.) That high quality content performs better than low-quality content.

I link to a study above from e-marketing/social bakers - which mentions both of those statistics but it doesn't go into detail on the specific statistics associated with high quality images vs. low quality. Sorry I can't' get my hands on the individual statistics for that images at the moment but I am going to look further into that and see what I can come up with. However, I did find some more statistics here: http://bit.ly/1wmMFUa that are worth checking out.

Hey Brooks.

I was already familiar with the rule of thirds however the Phi grid information was new to me.

I also liked the emotion color guide. I'm working on promotional materials for my company and that information will be helpful.

That's great! When doing my research for this article, the Phi Grid was new to me too. Does your company have a Facebook page?

This is an absolutely fantatic article. Thanks so much. Despite being a photographer and web designer for many years, I learned some stuff today.

Thank you, Joe! And you're very welcome - I'm happy you enjoyed it and learned some stuff. That means a lot to me! What did you like most about the article?

Wow! First, thank you for your service. Second, thank you for this amazingly well written and informative article. What an eye opener! Can't wait to apply what I gleaned. I'm a novice photographer/FB'er/Instagram'er helping my not so novice Air Force veteran, Neurosurgeon, blogger, podcaster, recently published writer husband promote his new book about his time in Iraq (http://amzn.to/1j3eoNH) along with promoting our medical practice using images. He spoke recently at the Infinite Hero summit started by Oakley's CEO Colin Baden. Worth a look see (www.infinitehero.org). Thank you again.

Thank you for the comment, Lisa! I'm glad you enjoyed the article. Wow, your husband's book looks amazing and it looks like good things are happening with that charity! Do you have a Facebook Page you're using to help with all that promotion?

We have W Lee Warren MD as a FB page but not one specifically for the book. We do have a website www.wleewarrenmd.com I would love to send you a book if you would like to read it. You can email me at lisa@lisawarren.com the mailing address.

That's great - I'd love to!

Yes, but it needs work - https://www.facebook.com/Mo... - I just started here a month ago and I've got my work cut out for me.

That's part of the fun, Joe! -Wes

Brooks, I'm keeping this article forever! So much bad grammar online these days, but you could have written another 20 pages and I would just keep reading! Add that to the fact that you talk about the Fibonacci Spiral! We used to call that leading line in photography. Beautiful work.

That's a great article and the perfect compliment to my post on using visual content to make tired old marketing tactics hip and fresh - http://www.sproutworth.com/... .
