What a nice surprise! I didn't expect to wake up to this with all the great shots in this challenge. Steve, the rule I broke was:
use ANY editing technique to create new image area, objects or features (such as lens flare or motion) that didn't already exist in your original capture(s).
I added a thin layer of fog using the Nik filter to soften things up a bit.

Gorgeous tones - love the wintery whites and the deep blue. Can't guess on the broken rule unless you introduced the lens distortion (which I would prefer to have corrected).
