While generally an interesting site, I find the daily emails from Digital Photography School to be somewhat hit and miss. However, this succinct article provides some great photographic examples of when it's appropriate to break some of the established rules of composition.
When photographing a moving subject the generally acceptable compositional rule is to place the subject in the frame with space in front of it to give it room to move into (creating ‘active space‘).
This is said to give the image more balance and provides the viewer of the image an answer to the question ‘where is the subject going?’
However rules are meant to be broken and as with every rule there are times when it can be very effective to break this one also.
