The leaning tree

Our Daily Challenge ... break the rules.

Normally I would put the horizon on the one third line in accordance with the" rule of thirds" but often with sunset photos the sky "deserves" a bit more space. I think it works OK in this case because the single tree distracts from the low skyline and leads the eye up. I have also read that objects should "move" toward the centre of the picture, which means in this case that the photo should have been moved sideways so the tree would be on the left and leaning toward the centre.
