these are wonderful examples (except the Nixon on the left is not his but NIck Nicosia). In each there is wonderful tension between the photographer's ARRANGEMENT of the world and the photographer's response to what the world presents. This tension between what might be and what is is a defining aspect of photographic intrique. Your choices here pick up on it wonderfully.
