The photographers of these two pictures probably intended to balance them with the subjects. The picture on the left is balanced because the chair is off to the left and the window is off to the right. The picture on the right is imbalanced because the flower is basically in the center which isn't a correctly balanced picture.

The pictures that I took on the left are imbalanced photos because the subjects are off center and have nothing else surrounding them. The pictures that I took on the right are balanced photos because the subjects are off center but the backgrounds compliment the foregrounds so they work.

The pictures on the left definitely show rule of thirds while the pictures on the right don't show rule of thirds. The subjects in the two pictures on the left are aligned correctly for the rule of thirds technique. But the subjects in the pictures on the right aren't aligned correctly because they are more centered so they don't show the rule of thirds technique.

These two photos both show how the photographer got up close to the animals and focused only on the animals and not the backgrounds. The picture of the bear was taken farther back when compared to the picture of the lynx. Both backgrounds are simple and not distracting whatsoever from the focal point. The focal points in the pictures are the bear and the lynx. These photos fill the frame and show the significance of the subjects.
