INHO, the Rule of Odds is primarily directed at images including two subjects that compete for the viewer’s attention or, actually, create two distinct images.

I had never heard that the Rule of Thirds was ever about 3 subjects (objects?) in a photo. It was always about dividing a picture frame into 9 sections, then using the crosses as more suitable approximate positional sites for subjects, whether only one or maybe 390. I also knew that the “rule” was easily, and appropriately, broken in several circumstances and that other “rules” might better fit a composition.

This was a great article. I have always like 3s as well!
