Quick...take a photo before the sailboat........ by Vickid

biffobear: Quick reactions caught It well...R.

Ramad: Congrats Vicki on winning the contest. I expected that this would win and had voted for it because it is a true spontaneous take with "broken rules".

Dunstickin: Well captured Vicki....A quick reflex with your camera caught a great post!...

This one would be ideal for the current contest 'Breaking the Rules' too

3rd place
Light trails on M66 by stylo

gr8fulted: The result was well worth the risk.

bfrank: Nice shot of light trails. I'm glad you didn't get hurt there in the dark or arrested.

Nikoneer: Well, Chris, I'm not so sure this is a "breaking the rules" photo as far as the art and craft of photography is concerned, but only as the law is concerned. Whatever the case, I absolutely love light trail photos ( like this one, this one, and this one), and this one is exceptionally well done and shows a real talent. A copy is going in my monitor's wallpapers folder, thanks loads! If the c-index was still being used I'd give this one very high marks indeed.

Breaking the Rules by Dunstickin

LynEve: Well done Bob !

Pistos: What I like is that it breaks rules while keeping them in more subtle ways. The tall grass on the left and the grey clouds cause the image to be broken 1/3 to 2/3 in the vertical direction. The tops of the people's heads plus the blue sky/cloud line roughly falls on the 1/3 line. Nice results. It is because the rules are broken that the image traps the eye, such as the subjects not being large in the picture, and yet because of subtlety, the picture remains pleasing to the eye, so you continue looking.

5th place
Broken Rules by Ramad

trixxie17: I like the composition Raj though it may technically break the "rules"!

elektronist: You really broke several rules on this image Raj. Good luck in the contest my friend.
