First 6 Rules of Photographic Composition- 9/11

 For the picture above the main focus is the smoke from the building, which is being centered from the other buildings by its side. Those two other buildings, somewhat the light pole curving over it, frame the smoke, making it stand out more. The viewer can look around the photo to realize that wherever they look, the smoke and debris from the tower will be the main focus.

 This photo is for simplicity, the ruins from one of the building is in front of a slight mist(or smoke/dust) letting the ruins stand out. The rubble at the bottom of the picture is there to let the viewer look around, see what happened after the building collapsed, but the rubble still brings the viewers eyes to the ruins of the building.
The airplane is in 3rd position, gliding itself towards one of the Twin Towers. The plane has enough room to the point where the viewer can see that it will hit the tower, that gives the effect where the viewer can predict what will happen.

The helicopter in this photo kind of combines itself with the buildings, merging together. It becomes a little hard to outline the helicopter. The helicopter's blades look like they're going to hit the pole, thats why this photo is for mergers
 With a satellite view of New York, the smoke leads away and into the rivers which lead back to New York and etc. basically going in a circle. The rivers lead to other places besides New York, too, but most of those other places seem to be cut off, or off the screen. Everything is kind of leading back to where the smoke is coming from, not only because it stands out but because its also near the center of the photo.

This picture has balance between the background and the fire fighters. It represents balance in a way that just draws someones attention to just look around; look at the tree, the light in-between the buildings that seems endless, the fire fighters mourning, the papers and debris on the ground.
