Breaking: s ‘leading’, ‘nose room’ or ‘leading space’. The lead room principle means that when framing a subject, a well-composed image will have a negative space in the direction that the subject is facing. oops :)
Cycling away created by Zizounai
Sorry I cut the boy's forehead, his shoe, his arms, Sorry you can only see a part of a handlebar and guess this is a bike, Sorry you can't see where he is going to, nor where he comes from... Sorry the background is all topsy-turvy, hope it doesn't make you sea sick.
I broke several rules here.
#3 Don't Place The Horizon In The Middle Of The Frame
#5 Rule Of Odds (you can count 4 legs)
#10: Don't Cut Off Limbs 😋
There are just so many things wrong with this entry that I can't stop looking at it and it feels just so right! That is the "photographic ping" we are looking for....wrong, yet so right. I love the two men standing at the side giving strength to the shot and how that was juxtaposed against the smallness of the buildings in the distance. It makes "man" feel important in the photo, Had you cut them off at their knees it would have been another major faux pax because the rule says never to amputate at the joints, just in case you want to try another shot like this. The texture of the gray pavement is lovely to the eyes and then the smooth well positioned buildings in the distance soften the grittiness. The smallness of the people in the distance adds spice to the story, they add life! This is a great entry and a great learning lesson for me. Two thumbs up up !

#1 Never place the horizon line in the middle #2 When you have an horizon line keep it horizontal #3 Never shoot a black cat around noon #4 Overexposed windows are ugly
Beautiful Sunrise created by grasshopper1
Rules broken: Main light light source in the rear. Fence is along center line. Subject in the center. Subject head turned. I was trying to show that the sunrise, at that moment, was so stunning that the bird turn around to watch it.:)

Age gone by created by Diamite
Your eye naturally wants to go to back ground, but the train curves around, highling both bridges going in different directions . Not so happy with arm of a passenger in what looks like a shell suit jacket, from the 80s lol
Just Like That created by photonut

Sometimes breaking the rules leads to compelling results.
Holiday photo that disturbed the peace in my head created by Marleen
Normally you get a certain peace of mind when you look at the pictures again, but with this chaos you get a certain stress, nothing is correct here: no specific object, no account of the sun, no line, no center ...
Rule of Visual Space created by Olga.L
The rule is to always have good visual space in front of the direction that the subject is moving. The rule has been broken with this composition.
