I get what you are saying about composition and making sure the galaxy is focus of the image, but sometimes bright stars just get in the way no matter where they are placed.  |
As well as big bright things, the eye is also drawn to parts of the image with special meaning.

For me, the spiral galaxy attracts my attention much more than the star. In fact, the very first thing I was aware of seeing was the small distorted galaxy immediately bottom right of the main fellow. The big bright star didn't distract.
