It might be possible to make the image even more dramatic by using
some classic rules of image composition, such as placing things on the
main diagonals (although this is not a hard rule, as horizontal is often
also a good composition, as long as you don't put the main horizontal
line exactly in the middle of the image), the rule of the thirds, or
golden ratios. Using perspective might make the image more dramatic (and
also allow using the main diagonal composition style).

  Putting the main detail in the very border of the image, while it may
have its effect, might not be the best possible solution, although I
understand what you are trying to express with that.

  From the point of view of composition, this is one of the best
photographs I have ever seen:

  It has it all: The main diagonal (upper left to lower right), main
focus points in the thirds, a good "order" in which the focus shifts
around the photo (from the man's eye to the dog's eye to the plate,
creating a dynamic triangle), a good balance, a dramatic contrast
between bright and dark (enhancing the diagonal composition), and of
course it tells an amusing story.
