9/11 photo composition review

Balance-
The explosion in this photo stretches to both sides of the frame, making a somewhat symmetrical photo. The photographer uses the Twin Towers and the explosion to make a symmetrical photo with a lot of impact. 
Avoiding Mergers-
This is a powerful image of former president George W. Bush and Lt. Lenard Phelan on Ground Zero. These two are the subjects of the photo and are not merged with at all. There is nothing to interfere with the depressing mood of this photo.
Lines-
In this photo, lines is used in a very saddening way. The lines from the tower show the man's downward motion. The lines show the man is falling, as well as the tower.
Rule of Thirds-
Using rule of thirds, the photographer captured the tragedy that was 9/11. This area of New York before the destruction would be bustling would lots of faces, but with just one single man city looks almost  post apocalyptic.
Framing-
The photographer for this photo made sure to frame the silhouette of the destroyed building to give
the photo a sense of scale and show how devastating 9/11 really was.

Simplicity-
The photographer from this photo made sure that the man was in the center of the frame
and was focused on. The viewer's attention is directly at the man.
