Balance

Print, Sep/Oct 2000, pg 88

Balance refers to the distribution of weight or force within a composition. Shapes in the picture work together to create an even composition.

This photo shows balance in a few different ways. The woman's round face and the cucumbers on her eyes show radial symmetry. The artist uses a green color scheme that feels neutral and balanced throughout the picture. The picture doesn't quite have symmetrical balance because of the seeds in the cucumber, but it does show approximate symmetry.
