Reminds me of something I learned some time ago - well, during an exhibition and some pro seminars, actually.
Sometimes the RoT really doesn't work too well, like in this image which used some Photoshop to create this slightly strange appearance of a street portrait. I somehow liked the proportions and the idea - the man with his back to the main scene showing a detached attitude, so that's all very much ok. Problem: No "power point" on any thirds!
What the speakers at the seminar did was obvious once someone tells you: You place the image into a mat via Photoshop (or Gimp, works just as well) in a way that now a power point of the whole print is on a third. Of course, that means the image is matted asymmetrically, but that gives it another unusual "twang".
Finally, here's the result without the aux lines - it's set for a 3x2 ratio, changing that would of course mean to reposition the main image, but that shouldn't be too difficult.
