Another Critique Please ;)

There is nothing in the image that dynamically conveys a sense of motion. There are some rather promenant vertical lines that convey a very strong sense that the subject is motionless.

Diagonal elements, or background motion blur in an image can help promote a sense of motion, but the original has neither type of image element.

One of the goals many photographers have is to make images that appeal to as broad a range of viewers as possible.

Over the last couple of thousand years visual artists have discovered, by trial and error, that some formulas, like a vertical orientation for portraits, work better than others. Certainly that is an on-going process, but the physical process of human perception hasn't changed any in that same time frame. Consequently, images made with little or no appreciation of the physical process of human perception often look odd, and lack that broad range of appeal.

Influences such as written text predispose people to look at things in predictable ways.

A an example western cultures write text from left to right, and top to bottom and people in western cultures tend to start looking in the uppeer left quadrant of an image. In fact that forms the basis of the Rule-Of-Thirds and the top horizontal ROT line is known as the 'Eye Line' because so many people look there first when they look at a photograph.

I agree with your formula.
