While it sounds correct intuitively, it generally is wrong. These sorts of rules are generalities we've come to understand over time. There is no art without limitation, that is to say, without restraining something via a conscious choice. Basic rules often merely create the space within which the artistic vision is worked out. They don't necessarily inhibit freedom they provide the context for freedom. Please, learn to work within thses rules, master the aesthetic. Then you won't so much be breaking the rules as you will discovering the truth beneath words that form the rule. I’d like to say something regarding the belief that rules limit creativity.

Look at the bright white -- it is white. If it had been tinted you would see a blue tint to the white as well. I really think the intense blue is due to the film used -- it's that fake cheese film: velvia. :-) The sky isn’t tinted blue. Look at the bright white — it is white.

The hard part is what changes you want to make for each shot. When I am on a long vacation I tend to take 100 pictures a day and delete the poor ones before I get to my PC. I do not take many duplicates. When I am out for the day space is not a problem so I will work harder at taking several photos of the same scene using a different perspective or settings.

The upper dark blue of the sky helps balance the image toward thirds. Well balanced photograph. Horizonally, the land plane is almost center of the

Other than that - I really like this photo...the contrast with the fields is a nice touch. I agree with the comment that the blue tint in the sky is too much.

I either change the angle of shooting, or camera settings,or play with DOF, or change lighting. It allows me to choose a better image later. Thanks for your advice. I will make use of it next time.
