For second photo of flowers:
This photo consists of a use of the rule of thirds as well as interesting depth of field. The daisy that is in focus is almost exactly at the bottom left third where the left-hand third and the bottom third meet. The foreground of this photo, the main, full focus daisy and the few surrounding daisies create quite a stark contrast with the majority of the picture which is out of focus.
Technically speaking, I would say that I held the camera approximately half a meter away from the subject, or about a foot and a half. I shot this particular shot at a low angle, approximately 30° below the horizontal. I had set the ISO reasonably low as we were shooting outside, and the white balance was set to sunny. The lighting was obviously available sunlight as we were shooting outside.
I would say that this photo, especially with the black and white filter over it, creates a rather melancholy feeling. The flowers, which appear to be wilting, create an overall feeling of loss and death.

For the last double exposure photo:
This photo consists of use of a use of the rule of thirds. The subject's face is lined up on the left-hand third and one of the flowers is lined up on the right-hand third, albeit less obviously. I also used the editing tool known as double-exposure to create the overlaid imagery of the flower over the portrait.
In the portrait, I used a higher ISO number since the photography was taken inside using artificial light rather than sunlight, as well as the interior lights setting on white-balance. The camera was held roughly at chest height and straight on, although the subjects face is pointed to the side. In the picture of the flowers, I used a relatively low ISO number as the photo was taken outside and used the sunny setting on the white-balance. This picture was taken at a relatively high angle, looking down on the flowers.
I believe this photo creates a feeling of freedom and just letting go of one's inhibitions. This portrait of someone smiling and laughing coupled with the photo negative of the flowers create a visually appealing and provoking photograph.
