Please vote for your favorite image from the "Breaking the Rules" assignment for the "People's Choice" award. The guidelines for this assignment (http://community.spiritofphotography.com/index.php?topic=631.0) were to choose one of the general "rules" of photography or composition that we have talked about, and then create a unique photograph by "breaking" the rules. I asked everybody to please tell us what rule they broke, and why they decided to deviate from common wisdom in order to achieve their creative vision.
To vote for an image, please select the title in the "poll" attached at the top of this thread, and click "submit vote." NOTE: You need to be logged in to see the voting options. Voting will end at midnight, Mountain Time (GMT-07:00) on Sunday, 29 August 2010.
