Default Strong Connections

I definitely don't follow the rule of thirds on this photo but all together it doesn't look that odd to me....
What do u think? Should I crop the image so I gonna get closer to the rule?

Thanks,

Gokey

I'm not sure cropping will make much difference. For a shot like this, it is better to get things lined up in camera - a small shift of perspective will make a big difference in the relationship of the foreground and background. I would probably have put the foreground connection under the right-hand arch of the bridge.

What equipment and settings did you use?
