Paris by jaydenandemily
"Yes, this is the winner! It is NOT symmetrical and that is a good thing! The objects on the left are balanced with the white swirl and the objects on the right, but being asymmetrical gives this much more movement and interest." — kaycee99

We Are Young by exaybachay
"This is the only set that is close to symmetrically balanced. however, the different colors of the words and the slightly off-center placement of the main figure give it movement." — kaycee99

Assimetry by perua4
"4th place goes to this set that has a perfectly symmetrical background with just enough asymmetry in the figures to give it interest. Think about how you would balance this set if the figures were even more off center." — kaycee99

When Doves Cry by kathy-martenson-sanko
"This artist obviously understands balance as I had a hard time picking just one set (see the HMs). The curves of the dove are balanced by the swirl in the top right corner, which are offset by the birds in the bottom right." — kaycee99

The Helping Hand by heartfinds
"11th place - The heart is balanced by the swirls and because they are darker, they have more weight, but the clear heart is larger and balances that side of the piece." — kaycee99
