What Happened to the Rule of Thirds??

Excellent capture 5*****

Very beautiful.
Very good capture.

All many rules, the rule of thirds is written just to be circumvented.
We enjoy you did it here. Magnificent light.

Magique cette lumière. *****

The Rule of Thirds is as vital as H, 2 and O . . .

Bravo ! Five stars*****

As to any rule, there are always exceptions. They are the salt in the soup making photography [or almost anything else] more interesting.
Your break with the rule of thirds works perfectly here. You captured a gorgeous atmospheric sunrise; the central sun flare and the early mist add much to this fascinating image.

Forget the Golden mean...
this one is simply awesome...
The heart and eye are above any rule:))))

5***** et 1 spotlight pour cette superbe photo!!!!!

Bravo. *****

Excellent capture. The tree sprouting that golden light is stunning. Beautiful =)

When you've a scene like this, rules are to be broken. A gorgeous image.

This is just beautiful! Gorgeous light coming through the trees. Fantastic processing!

Absolutely mesmerizing, and many people have told what had to be told about rules, you also have quote from Ansel Adams everyday on my blog about the rules.
What i love on Aminus, among other things, is the freedom of many people who are above the rules because they very often learnt by themselves, and that's why so many are so talented. Freedom leads to real creation.

intéressante lumière

never mind the "rule" ... it's breaking them that often leads to the best results! here, the sun bursting through the trees, the gentle diagonal and the gorgeous colours more than compensate for the "breaking of the rule" ... ;-)

Lovely starburst and good, grungy foliage.

Magique lumière *****
