Yes, there is 3) frame-in-frame, with he water spouts providing the frame. 4) layered, with the center deck splitting the image.

Additionally, this has two stories going on at the same time. The boy playing on the upper deck and the girls playing on the lower deck. This is something one seee’s in paintings of the old masters. Various stories occurring in a scene separated by darkened areas.

This is a very good image, compositionally, to think about and anayze.

BTW, I think you posting images and initiating discussion about composition is an excellent idea. It gets back to the art of photography rather than old discussions about gear and software. This is a refreshing subject material. Keep it up, please!

Also, some food for thought. The rule of thirds makes perfect sense as a point of physiology. I treat people with balance disorders: vertigo and imbalance. How we use our eyes to look at the world is hard wired. About 1 /4 of our brain, the cerebellum, has no other function but to integrate information from our ear, eyes and from the tug of gravity on our body so that we can stay upright and function normally in space. Significant amounts of our brain besides the cerebellum are also dedicated to our balance system. Our perception of the horizon is a major part of our balance system. We naturally divide the horizon roughly into thirds, foreground, mid ground and distant. The rule of thirds is part of the hard wired balance system that allows us to walk upright, as well as part of the balance system for most vertebrates.

For people with balance problems, if you take that visual perspective away, such as in the dark or going from Sun to shade or when entering a long hallway, the sense of imbalance can be overwhelming. As upright animals, the prime intent of our eye movement is to provide information to our balance system so that we can maintain our upright position, walk, track objects, and rapidly perceive danger requiring us to move quickly. Given that we are hard wired to look at the world in thirds, the rule of thirds in photography is not surprising.

But I was referring what I would call normal picture and you come up with some off the wall stuff that very few delve into. And in reference to your statement it would also apply to crimes like murder. I don't believe any would look that those and apply the rules of composition. There are exceptions to every rule. I know it would never enter my mind.
If you are referring to a person who is shooting an ad for food product, restaurant etc. I believe they would follow those rules or their products would not sale. There are many forms to the rule of thirds.
In my estimation the rule of thirds to apply beauty and make a person at ease. it is by not means to expose the starkness of any situation as you describe.
