After reading Designing Picture Space I decided to go through my pictures and see what I could match to the components listed in the book, to have a more solid idea of what they are.
Light; people love light. The contrast of light with blue shadow draws more attention to the light highlights. Rule of thirds; the icicle as the center of interest is placed one third from the top. Contrast; the main point is outlined by shadow and then highlighted by light on the bottom.
Center of interest; the cat's face is in the center because of the tree trunk but leaning towards rule of thirds because it is farther towards the top 1/3 than in the center vertically. The diagonal stalk of grass draws the attention to the cat, particularly if you're a woman and start looking at the bottom left.
Dominance; the warm orange of the butterfly makes it the sole focus, while the cool green complements it without fighting for attention. The shadows in the back set a solid background that lets the light in front highlight the foreground to make the picture more 3d. Both of these also enhance the color of the butterfly. Center of interest; the butterfly in the center and also closest to the camera brings the eye to it first. The butterfly is also slanted diagonal which makes it more pleasing to the eye than it would be horizontal.

Center of interest; the sun is the main focus of attention even though it is farthest in the back because it is in the center, the strongest source of light and also the only warm color in the photo. The striking difference gets the lookers' attention first.
The first thing that grabs your attention is that it is such a huge close up- large draws more attention than small. A combination of contrast between light and dark in diagonal across Nick's face draws interest to it, also in the contrast between the blinding light in the top left with the soft dark hues of his eye. The brown freckles soften the picture so the light difference will not be too harsh.
