Jason,  You have here the exception that proves the rule.  

Normally I would say that putting a face that is directed squarely at the camera should not be dead center of the image; but, so help me, this works very well.  I am having trouble analyzing why.  Maybe it is the complete lack of symmetry in the background with tree trunks vertical and fallen branches scattered.  When I write my book on composition I hope you will let me use it.
