The magical third rule & How to use it
So what is this third rule thing?
If you know something about photography (read a few articles about it... like two or three) or looked at the professionals, you probably noticed that they don't usually put their object in the centre of the image. But why?
This has a simple story with a bit of science. I won't give you whole studies and a psychological explanation, you can search for it if you want (I'm pretty sure they exist somewhere)
So, here it comes. The big thing is that
it looks better.
What do I mean? There are certain patterns which looks better for the human eye. These things are the symmetry, (that Fibonacci thing), and the rule of thirds.

Of course, if the symmetry is "stronger" (usually in case of buildings) we can use it too - and if it's not, we still can use, do what you want, photography is art. But have you ever seen a picture in which the object wasn't in the middle but very close to it? Was it annoying? For a lot of people it is, we have a weird logic: If it can't be perfect - don't even try.
So long story short, that's the logic of the golden rule in photography. I hope it was helpful.
