It seems to me that there are at least two things to recognise. First, and obviously, there are a gazillion items which have an inherent radial structure. Second these may be captured by the camera with either radial (like #2 above) or other composition (like the human-powered crane, #7). Beyond this, the camera can identify and record assemblies of things, or even whole landscapes, which are amenable to radial interpretation and composition. Personally, I have never considered radial composition as an option or goal, except insofar as I have always been attracted by what I have regarded as illustrations of "perspective". In retrospect, these could often be said to have radial composition - the first one here might count. In cases where we have control, such as still lifes or group photos, it may be worth remembering that radial composition is an option. And beyond the camera treatment, there's always PP . . .
So thank you Judy - you have given me ample food for thought.
