Composition

Good: I thought this photo's composition was powerful. The photographer is almost eye level with the man crawling so you get a personal view of his facial expressions. Also, their is a sense of direction from this man and the others in the background as they are crawling. Would the composition be better if the photographer were not dead on with the man crawling?

Bad: I don't think this photo is well composed. I'm not even sure where the focal point is? or what is even going on in this picture. My eye is not directed in any particular place.

Question: When is it good to put the focus in the center? In this photo, does it work?

The last photo with the girls directly in the middle is not the best composition and is boring. The photographer should have tried getting down lower or composing the shot using the building in the background in a stronger way. The girl walking in the background in the blue jacket also really bothers me.
