Re: Poll: Your favorite composition structure
Obviously off center horizontally and vertically. I find that thirds are often a bit much. I seem to prefer off center to the right. Alsop, I find it comfortable if the scene flows from the lower left to the upper right. Have herd it referred to the eye channel. (??)

Re: Poll: Your favorite composition structure
I use the golden mean instead of the rule of thirds, especially when cropping in post. I'm also a fan of cropping to square (still using the golden mean).

Re: Poll: Your favorite composition structure
Speaking for myself, the rules I cited were the basic boilerplate nearly everyone reads or is told when beginning to learn photography. They are only a guide that can be of benefit if the chosen scene allows. The complete opposite is a better option in many cases.
