There are certain situations when you have to be conservative, so you have to know the theory (!), and there are situations when you can let your imagination fly. I like this specific picture. High key plus washed colours emphasise the eyes. In spite of being simetric, the picture is well balanced. It has a good, strong subject and leaves you with a slight sign of question (with something to think about). Of course you have to know the rules in order to break them.

I guess it's the difference between 'getting lucky' and make a conscious decision to make the image different. Great stuff nonetheless!

They help us to understand what works graphically but creativity cannot be broken down into simple steps (frame like this and you can take a price winning shot). I think we need to stop looking for the easy solutions and use our heads and develop our own styles. Good post! Rules of creativity are actually mere suggestions.

It's great to first learn and break rules though, but it's hard for a lot people to learn these lessons and develop an unique style.
