We could either have one challenge, like:

Break a "rule"
Choose one of the following photography "rules" and break it:
1) Rule of Thirds
2) Keep the subject off the edge of the frame
3) No distractions
4) Low noise
5) Perfect exposure
6) Contrast between subject and background
7) Subject in sharp focus

or we could have a series over time, breaking one rule per challenge.

I'm sure there are other rules I'm forgetting at the moment.

I think I could score high with breaking the rules...lol maybe my first ribbon if we do it that way.... break it up and I could potentially score several :-D

sounds like an "out-of-the-box-challenge"...;)

cool idea!

another rule could be:
8) leveled horizon

9) Wide-angle portrait

10) Don't cut off the: head, feet, hands, etc... (similar to #2 I suppose).
11) Don't center the subject.

That's funny, I broke several rules on my recent challenge entry & I'm getting slaughtered for it...

Yeah, I considered putting in #11 in my first post, but I thought #1 covered it. But we all know how people like clarity, so let's do both. :)

I think #10 is a great addition, too.

good challenge. I suggest the wording "one or more"
