Proves the rules are made to be broken.
Dave Wixx13-Oct-2006 01:39
A perfectly poor shot!!
Cindi Smith12-Oct-2006 23:48
It may break the rules but I love it just the same!
Sheila12-Oct-2006 23:37
I LIKE vertical for landscapes.
Guest 12-Oct-2006 23:34
Great composition. The rules are there to be broken
Eckhart Derschmidt12-Oct-2006 22:39
If that's what comes out when breaking the rules - I'll become an outlaw!
Dan Chusid12-Oct-2006 22:09
You could just cut out the tree entirely with photoshop
and replace it with a headshot of Ray Pettit growing out
of the landscape.

Don't think there's a rule against that.
:^))

A very nice photo. Creates a very serene mood.
J. Scott Coile12-Oct-2006 21:08
... but beautiful wind blown character in that tree.
Guest 12-Oct-2006 20:42
It looks nice this way.great shot.
JSWaters12-Oct-2006 20:41
Well, the tree itself looks like it's bending (the rules)

Barbara Heide12-Oct-2006 20:01

Bill Ewart Jr12-Oct-2006 19:17
Interesting diagnosis....I really don't like that second horizon line!~
olivier bruning12-Oct-2006 19:14
keep breaking them!
Jen Bixler12-Oct-2006 19:12
Yes, it is just plain REBEL!
royalld12-Oct-2006 19:02
I am learning a lot from this challenge.
I would have not considered this a ruler breaker before today.
Ric Yates12-Oct-2006 18:53
Pretty good for a rulebreaker!
chrisse12-Oct-2006 18:43
I agree, it still works as a very nice shot !

beverley harrison12-Oct-2006 18:12

Far too good for today!
Bob Floyd12-Oct-2006 17:58
But for all that...still a pretty good shot with some interest. :)
Guest 12-Oct-2006 17:56
This must be the first time an image like this has appeared on PBASE! ;-))
pda_pin12-Oct-2006 17:52
Great composition.
Nicki Thurgar12-Oct-2006 17:50
Yes, but.. it's a really good picture! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...regardless of any rules broken!
