The Good: Paolo Pellegrin's photo of Frank Langella for The New York Times ( the 4th one in Langella's series). The photo is interesting and plays with the shadows to create a compositional effect.
The Bad: Hiroke Masuike's photo from the Neediest Cases story for The New York Times. Just not the best compositionally; the subject has objects growing out of her head.
The Questionable: Nicole Benigevo's photo of Plain's Ga. for The New York Times. Does this work compositionally? It is interesting, but a bit jarring. I can't decide.

I agree, the Frank Langella picture is really interesting. I like how the reflection on the window reflects his mood. It's really interesing how half of his face is almost framed by the city on the left side and how it is obliterated by the reflection on the right side.
It's funny you mentioned the Neediest Cases photos because I was looking at them the other day.
I agree, out of all of them the one you chose as your bad composition is my least favorite. It's not interesting to me at all.
The first photo wasn't my favorite but it was interesting. HATED the second photo. I was way to distracted by the basketball goal. Also, didn't care for the third photo either, the guy's eyes were closed and his face was cut off!
I don't like the third photo's composition. My eye is drawn to the head that fills up the left side of the frame rather than where he's pointing.
The "good" photo is really good. The tilted horizon bugs me a little.
The second photo is bad. Not sure what the photographer was thinking there.
I don't like the "question" photo. That wide angle lens distorts his body; his hands are so small! The photo is more about the tour guide than about the farm.
I agree with the second photo. The composition is really bad on this one. The third photo I can't decide. There's leading lines with his hands and the walk path that show off the park.
