Challenge Details
Breaking the Rules
An Open Challenge using the Standard Editing rules.

Description
There are many implied "rules" for "good" photography: "use the rule of thirds", "don't shoot into the sun" and "keep the subject sharp" are just three of them. But rules are made to be broken! Break a photography rule and make it work. Your title should tell us the rule you are breaking with your entry.

Extra Rules
PLEASE NOTE: This challenge is NOT about breaking the editing rules.
