BALANCE IS OFF BECAUSE THE WEIGHT OF THE children on the left side of the see-saw causes it to go down. THis pulls the eye in a diagonal manner from the top right -then down to the bottom left. BUt some images have symmetry which causes the balance to even. In the image "Red and Blue" the two KAYAKS are equal distance apart and they are the same size and weight. In the image "Wheels of Progress" there is a radial balance because of the circular water wheel with each spoke at the same angel away from the previous one. These are all types of "Formal" balance. Informal balance is reflected in the image "See Saw" it is more appealing to the eye because is causes the eye to move. This is possible due to the different level the two people are in the photo and the invisible eye line that they have because it is shown in profile and they are looking at one another.
