"I don't make the rules; I just follow them."(posted 8778 days ago)Give me a break! If you don't believe "the rules" are the way that things should be done, then don't criticize a photo based on its violation of those rules. And if you do make a critique on that basis, don't later claim "well, gee, I don't make the rules. . ."
Figure out what you believe. Make photos based on that. Make critiques based on that.
