Photographic Composition: Cropping

Anyone to the left of the man is cropped out, leaving only his face and the smoking rubble of the World Trade Center behind him.

Photographic Composition: Viewpoint

This photograph has a birds-eye view of the rubble at Ground Zero as well as the famous Sphere that now stands in memorial of the 9/11 attacks.

Photographic Composition: Patterns and Symmetry

This photograph is symmetrical in the way that the "Welcome to Manhattan" sign and the median split in half, but the symmetry is interrupted by the way in which there are a great deal of people on the left, but much fewer on the right.

Photographic Composition: Create Depth

This photograph has depth because of the layers of the wreckage of Ground Zero behind the firefighters, and then other buildings behind that.

Photographic Composition: Avoiding Mergers

This photograph has several mergers; things in the background light street signs distract from the running men (but it was clearly a photo taken in the moment, so it's understandable).

Photographic Composition: Framing

The mourning man is framed by the wall of the memorial that he is leaning against.
