    Default Pier in Pastel Breaks Rules

    I'm curious to see what people think of this one I took 2 days after Christmas.
    It appeals to me because I like the soft light and pastel cast and, for me at least, it breaks some solid rules and still works.
    For instance, no rule of thirds and the horison splits the image in half. Usually this is not good in a landscape type photo.

    What do you think?

    If you also have an image that breaks some well known photographic rules then feel free to add them to this thread
