Glad my point came across as I tend to ramble on

With photography being a creative art there shouldn't be any rules set in stone however there are plenty of guidelines with the rule of thirds being a fine example.

You can create a photograph to just please yourself or you can create it for an intended audience or create it specifically to a client's requirements. Each one may need a different approach and if you can pull off all three at once it's a great day at work.
