2. It's a black and white composition. And I also see a bunch of sharp crisp lines.

3. Cluttered
Packed
Abandoned
Neglected
Unorganized

4. The mood this gives me is an empty mood. All though it's packed with a bunch of things it's still empty and neglected.

5. This photo gives me the impression of emptiness all though there is a lot of "garbage" all over the floor. The place is neglected and no one has ever bothered to pay any mind to it to try and clean it up.

6. This uses the rule of thirds because on the left side of the photo it focuses on the broken walls, and windows. on the top of the photo it focuses on the rotted ceiling, and on the right it focuses on the windows. and of course the bottom of the photo focuses on the mess.
