Composition is a personal thing, within reason. You can compose in a fairly safe way or go crazy with angles or "cut-offs", and like both - or not. Here I have 2 possible main characters, one almost centered, the other way off but looming. Your eye is drawn to one or the other, then back. Later you realise there are other characters at play, out of focus. You also get a sense of depth from the focus on the hat itself.

Well that's my take on it, anyway!
