Rules broken: (1)No rule of thirds as far as I can see... (2)Conflicting leading lines (to some extent). (3)Lack of well defined focus of interest or "main subject" for that matter. (4)Failure to use the settings to frame the image properly. (5)Definitely bad cropping. (6)Failure of keeping simplicity, distracting elements at the edges. (7) Bad colors. (Might be subjective... I have a strong urge to make a slight correction to the blue-cast of the image but will refrain to do so since it was specified in the contest rules.) (8)Partially out of focus in a way that serves no artistic purpose (rather the opposite). (9)Sort of centered composition. (Could be a matter of debate...) I couldn't find better shots to submit right now. If I find or make a "better" rule breaker I'll take one of my submissions down I guess.
PS: You have not taken this picture this year, have you ? Just being envious ... Boris and I love winter, frost and snow !!!
