this doesn't deserve its own thread but i think the rule of thirds one is 5% better

I think both could be much better. The second one is better out of the two though.

Other guy was right about how this doesn't deserve it own thread, but I would say both could be improved...but to pick one I would go with the first one.

here's a few things I'd consider to make the decision. next time, please make the decision yourself, and curate your own shit.
1
+ poles out of frame
+ rule of third gives more importance to the environnment
= zooming in makes the trees look relatively bigger
- statue out of focus

2
+ centered composition gives enphasis to the statue
+ proper focus strenghtens it
= poles can give some symmetry element, fitting with the centered compo
- wider angle gives more room for uninteresting space

this is actually decent
