Well, I wasn't speaking about the "rule", rather of my perception.
Though of course the rule is probably some kind of generalization of
perception of many people.
The second photo is better w.r.t. the rule ;-) . And I prefer the color
version.
"They" say "Rules are made to be broken" ... that's why I put "rule" in
quotes.
But, I was also taught that when you're going to break a "rule", you
ought to have a reason, one you can explain, even if only to yourself,
what you expect to achieve by breaking the "rule".
The "rules" are a starting point ... like, you got to have a box before
you can think outside of it.
