In each of these images, the feather is the point.
Positioning the point in the centre produces a pretty dull composition with no feeling of movement or impact.
Positioning the point off centre on a third improves the composition, the diagonals of the waves and the line of the wall lead in to the point.
The point close to the edge for me provides the best composition, the elements of the above are emphasised more plus I feel there is an implied line from left to right. This composition feels like it has some sense of motion – perhaps the feather about to blow in the direction of the lines?
Key Learning Points
Contrary to the usual rules of thirds approach, the position of the point closer to the edge provides the best composition and feeling of movement. But I think the interaction of the point and the lines leading into it in the composition are what makes it a preferable composition.
