Thursday's challenge...breaking the compositional rules!!!

I thought all of the sunflowers were gone! Today, I saw 2 different places where they were alive and well.

I can't say this was the most difficult challenge I have ever participated in since I rarely even follow any rules. I kind of took the easy way out by choosing to break ...the rule of thirds : ) To be honest, I didn't even know there were any 'rules' until not to long ago when a friend mentioned the rule of thirds to me ; )

'Rule of twos' ROFL. If you don't know what they are, you can't break em, right? Make you own. Nice.

So you've created a "rule of twos" :)
