How Not to Compose a Photograph

I headed out to photograph late in the day. After a few minutes I had an idea - change the Color Balance setting on the camera from "Auto" to "Daylight." This photograph if shot on "Auto" would be a neutral gray - the camera tries to take out any "off" colors. By using the "Daylight" setting, the blue light of late in the day is recorded as it should be. When I am composing a photograph, I am intuitive, and don't really consciously think about where to put things in the frame. So I moved the camera around and ended up with this composition. Just now, while looking at the finished photo, I realized that the photo is very symmetrical - the top and the bottom are the same. And do you know that there is a rule in photography that the horizon in a photograph should NOT run through the center of the photo? I know that rule. I rarely follow it. After writing all this, I don't have space to tell you why I liked this scene in the first place.
