This months competition challenged members to break the rules. Participants were encouraged to rethink what makes a “good” image—without venturing into reckless behavior like running a red light. Instead, the focus was on challenging traditional compositional guidelines: placing subjects away from the rule of thirds, using an even number of elements, embracing clashing colours, or experimenting with a deliberately crooked horizon. Photographers were invited to tear up the rule book, but with intention—ensuring that, despite bending or breaking conventions, each image still worked and resonated with the viewer.
