The Rule of Thirds

The photo is positioned to the right side because that is where the imaginary lines intersect. The most important elements are positioned along those lines so that the photo can be more interesting. 

Lines

Balance

Framing 
The photo building and proud which is surrounding the human is causing a frame and is isolating the main subject from most of the world. It draws the audiences attention to the main subject, in this case it is the human.
