Rule broken: proper exposure. This picture is much darker overall than would be generally acceptable, especially the eyes & left side of her face.
Reason broken: capture the exotic look of this woman & lovely color hair under difficult lighting conditions.
This was taken at a Christmas festival in San Jose, CA. It was evening, under street lighting & a few street venders when I spotted her. I liked the way the lighting brought out the red in her hair (unusual in Indian woman).
