In almost every book on photography I read about the rule of thirds. If you divide your picture area into nine sections as shown below,
then the central four points (in red) - represent the key points of the composition and it is at one of these four points that you would place an important subject matter. This rule is not a must. This is just a "soft" recommendation which sometimes can help you to make a picture better.
The next two pictures show example of using the rule of thirds.
San Francisco, CA. The boat is placed in the center.
This picture is composed with using the rule of thirds.
Conclusion:
Placing an important subject using the rule of thirds can help you
to improve a picture.
