Is it known as the rule of thirds or something like that?
Yes you are quite right, looking at the full frame image the eye first focuses on the bright NGC 1365 on the left then it seems to travel right and wander in a curved path around the yellow elliptical galaxies to end up back at NGC 1365...its pretty profound actually, hmmm nifty...

Probably why I keep coming back to this version of close crop too, it looks balanced becasue the group of bright stars to the right balance the view..?
