It is true that the lamp heads are exactly in the upper third, and if viewed from the side, they also fall on the imaginary line 1/3 and 2/3. However, the picture also has a part of a column that falls exactly on the dividing line, so my eyes do not perceive the whole subject together as following the rule of thirds.
@borof The rule of thirds is explained as the brain perceiving as more enjoyable the subject when it is placed on the third (any of the lines or intersections), rather than in the middle. However, I find it intriguing how the central position is percieved as dominant here. I wonder if it has anything to do with the workings of the two brain hemispheres.
