I'd like to change out a couple words....Regardless of whether you're conscious of it or not...you're still following the principle guidelines of what makes an image aesthetically pleasing.
It's not always about what is pleasing. It is about what communicates your intention.you're still following the principle guidelines of what makes an image, effective.
If you want your image to make the viewer uneasy, and nervous, you use jaggity, ziggity zaggity lines. You employ the elements of design to communicate your intent to the viewer. Notice I said elements of design, and not composition?
If you drew a picture of a swan on a lake, and you want the viewer to feel a sense of calm and serentiy, you would not use jaggity, ziggity zaggity lines. If this were a photography, and you took this picture using the dutch angle, would it communicate calm and serenity? EVER?
(rexbobcat, you understand this isn't directed at you I hope. Just what you said as example)
