The first example on how to break the rules is by merging objects of the same colour into the photo. This causes a distraction which could be on purpose, or simply a huge accident. Nonetheless, doing it so wrong could never look SO good!

The next example of breaking the rules is to have the most important aspect of the photo to be on the opposite side. So instead of having the subject in the bottom right corner, have it on the
upper-left hand corner. This offsets the photo to give it a new perspective I find!
 |
| This photo's most important aspect is the buildings and pedestrians to the upper left of what would appear to be "the most important aspect". By realizing this, people now focus to what's really behind the scenes. Ottawa, ON |
Lastly, imbalance. In art, your teachers always tell you to have an even balance for your work-just like math, the left side should equal the right side of the equation. To really throw everyone off, imbalance the photo. I believe you take in different objects differently this way!
 |
| Not only is this photo imbalanced by proportion (giant buildings off-centering the smaller trees), but also an imbalance to society. This is an example of how the industrial revolution and society have overcome our own natural environment. |
