Winner #230 - Breaking the Rules · 01:42 PM

Unfortunately I'm having a hard week in personal life and I don't have enough time to add a comment for all these wonderful entries. The best I can is just to announce my favorite ones. Thank you all for entering this challenge with really great photos, it was really hard to choose and as always this just my personal view. Most of the entries could easily be in first place. Anyway

Honorable mentions to Arjay Bee, sealonsf, Nick Nero, tessfully and charliezap

2nd Place dtmateojr

and

Winner IMHO of this challenge is StephenHampshire

You manage to break a few important rules of photography(although I don't believe rule of thirds is among them) and still create a magnificent photo. Very well done
