Generally in any composition you want to place the subject(s) of interest at one of the four 'areas of intrest' centered upper right (like this), centered upper left or lower left, lower right. A portrait centered works mostly because the eyes or other areas of interest approximate this, but with something like this placing the main subject dead center (even up or down) is typically boring.

Same goes for photography (which is where this originated) but the reference was not quite this composition.
