1st place
Quick...take a photo before the sailboat........ by Vickid

Dunstickin: Well one on winning the Contest Vicki...I kinda knew this would do well!..

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".

2nd place
Profiles by braces

corngrowth: Congratulations Steve, for your 2nd place in the "Breaking the Rules" contest.

LynEve: Intriguing ! - makes us want to see more and wonder what they are doing there in front of the crooked trellis. A Barbeque? A working bee? A garden tour?

3rd place
Light trails on M66 by stylo

LynEve: Congratulations on your placement in the contest :)

corngrowth: Congratulations Chris, for your 3rd place in the "Breaking the Rules" contest.

corngrowth: I wondered how this capture was taken until I read your narrative, Chris.
Think you've showed the image already on the display of your camera to the police officer. Think she was impressed. Could be an explanation why she was that kind to you, ☺ .
Excellent camera work resulting in a perfect night shot!

4th place
Breaking the Rules by Dunstickin

questjester: Congratulations in the contest, Bob! :)

corngrowth: Congratulations Bob, for your 4th place in the "Breaking the Rules" contest.
Well done Owd Mucker!

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

corngrowth: ---too much sky---

Think that this 'maritime pigeon' won't agree with you, Raj, because much sky is very helpful to it for a proper take-off, ☺ .
Good entry for the current contest however.
Good Luck with it, my friend!
