Attention going to the edge of a scene rather than its centre is a working method, whether or not you have ever thought of it that way. The centre has been photographed a thousand times and there is little left there to find. What sits at the periphery is unclaimed, and it often says more about the moment than the obvious subject does.
Notice where your eye goes when everyone else is pointing the same direction. Follow it rather than correcting it, and make the thing at the edge your actual subject.
