This picture has a very interesting placement of the bride in relation to the rest of the bridesmaids you can still see all of the lovely ladies but obviously the most important character in this image is the bride. The only thing off in the structure of the image is the bride being off centered in the lineup. it just creates an off feeling in the image.

This is another image in the group portraiture where there is a group of dancers showing off their moves. This is an interesting composition because there is just so much to look at, they are all in different positions and it's very dramatic, I like that none of them are standing straight up because that would make the composition less interesting.

This group portrait is very interesting in its composition. this is a groom and his groomsmen. You can tell the groom is the one with the white tie in the center with the one on his bike, I like the placement of the groomsmen behind his because it creates an interesting composition, also having the other subjects at that angle creates a sense of leading lines.

This is another interesting type of group portrait, a family portrait. The subject is obviously the little girl's reaction to her parents in the background. I think this is absolutely adorable. The parents are out of the depth of field and it creates an interesting composition to see the parents blurred and the little girl perfectly clear. But this is a great placement for the subjects.
