Oh wow. The art idea of the "rule of thirds." So humans are evolved as pretty visual hunter-scavenger-forager types right? Something off outside of those four points is peripheral vision - you'll notice it but not quite as much. Something right in the center is something you've drilled down onto, something you're really focused on. Wow, this sure is a tasty looking berry I just found, it doesn't look at all like something that did in half the troupe last month, I could totally eat that. So... the rule of thirds basically simulates that moment in between when something's really started catching our interest, and the moment in which we're really focused on it trying to figure it out. It's a composition equivalent to finding extreme poses in drawing as the strongest pose, that sort of thing.
