Rule of thirds
I think the photographer used rule of thirds to catch the viewers eye on the full image. like as if he coudl've shifted the clouds in a different direction.and place any sort of objects to make them seem in place. And it looks like if we were to use rule of thirds on this it would show us te main intersection points.
fill in the frame
I think the photographer used filling the frame cause his positioning. he decided to get closer to this object to show us more detail in this picture we see in front of us right now. If he were to go from a far angle it wouldn't be the same he was probably thinking to himself when trying to get the perfect picture. So as you can see the photographer decided to get a close look aka angle.
LINES
The photographer wanted to capture the detail in the white street lines. He took this photo straight on of course considering looking at it from this point of view. He must have taken this picture because of all the details and broken lines.
