Balance

Balance determines whether the photo is pleasing and harmonious or uncomfortable. When a photo is largely symmetrical, it’s easy to identify the balance but balance can prove somewhat boring. If you have a small and a large object which would be impossible to balance at equal distances from the center of the photo. If you place the smaller object to the far edge of the frame and the larger object slightly off center, the balance becomes a lot better. It’s good to have balance in some photos but, if you want to make your images a little more interesting, unbalanced photos help to attract the viewers attention. When a photo is perfectly balanced, it means that the left and right halves of the photo draw the eye equally. With a balanced image, the frame is more calm than one which skews visual attention to one side or the other.
