That's one way of saying that she pays no attention to composing
I'm a gonna disagree. Leaving aside the "cut off heads", the compositions seem to me generally good. 1, 4, 7, 9, 12 & 14
seem to me good to excellent. 8 qualifies, too, if leveled. 10 is, as she says, too claustrophobic, for my taste, busy,
without a grounding point. It's almost like she made up the statement before selecting images, then was stuck including
a crummy one that fits the description.
and cuts people's heads off.

2 and 11 look like attempts to universalize by avoiding faces. Although it doesn't work for me, I think I can see what
she is hoping to accomplish with them.
