Welcome to MC 247. The topic for this challenge is "Following the Rules."
Often, we're told in photography to go ahead and 'break the rules.' In order to do this though, you have to know what the rules are. What I'm looking for in this challenge, is a photo that illustrates one (or more) rules of photography. As I have a pretty good sense of humor, a shot that creatively illustrates what not to do is also acceptable (e.g. the tree growing out of grandma's head!)
If you're a little shaky on the "rules," here are some sites for ideas:

MC 247 starts now and ends on Thursday, December 15th, at 8pm CST.
RULES
NEW RULE JUST FOR THIS CHALLENGE: You must state the rule you are illustrating or the photo will not be included for judging! (See examples to follow.)
1) Enter up to 3 photos from any camera taken at any time. Let us know about equipment, settings and processing if you like.
2) The winner chooses the next mini challenge theme and selects the next winner and so on...
3) Please post your entries by replying to this original post rather than under someone else’s post - and change the subject line to ‘My entry’ or ‘Entry Number1’ or something like that to separate your picture posts from comments that someone may make about your post.
4) In the spirit of the previous challenge, I would like to nominate the previous host to take over my role in the event that I am unable to continue. The nomination carries an instant second, and the rules close out further nominations!
5) The challenge is open immediately, and will close for entries and exhibitions on Thursday, December 15th at 8 pm CST. Results will be posted asap.
6) As usual, exhibition entries are encouraged if you have interesting images to share beyond your three entries, or should you feel you are not able to host the challenge in the event that you win.
7) All entrants should check the results of the challenge and be ready to jump in with the next competition if they are the winner.
8) PLEASE feel free to make as many comments as possible. This adds to the fun and keeps people coming back.
