I do not find anything that let me say this composition is based on the rule of thirds. OK the queen is entirely in one third, but my eyes are forced to follow the card border down to the "Q" damaging the effect of the rule. I think the problem is mainly that the photo is too complex, filled with interesting elements and lines.
In a few words: there is too much.
