Photo #1: Rule of thirds

Is there a prize for most excruciatingly obvious example of the rule of thirds? The horizontal slats are on RoT lines. And the flower is at an intersection.

Photo #2: Lego girl

Outside of the Lego store. And this one, might break the rule (of thirds), maybe. I suppose it depends on how strict one is in applying the rule... Let's see, in this photo the subject's face and body are not on any of the RoT lines or intersections. BUT, the subject is contained entirely within the bottom 2/3 of the frame. And the LEGO circles are both contained in the 1/3 on each side. I'm beginning to wonder... do all photos really seem to follow this "rule?" Or is it just the case that we're finding what we want to find?
