I think a lot depends on the content of the image. This seems to me to be an over simplistic idea of the complexity perception Formulaic ideas on composition just get in the way of connecting to the subject matter. IMHO

I just read that some people believe that diagonal compositional  elements from the left are more powerful than from the right as we here in the US read from left to right. People who read from the right see diagonals from the right more powerful. I don't know if there is a language that starts at the bottom of the page and one reads up.

Does anyone think that the way one reads effects how one sees photographs?
