Asymmetrical Balance

This was one of the pictures from a wedding I shot. It's a good example of asymmetrical balance. It's creative and leads your eyes to the left and slightly downward. It doesn't totally throw the picture off balance because it uses the rule of thirds to some extent. It also helps to have the arm come from the top right and sort of creates a balance without having a balance. By ignoring balance, I think this composition creates a wistful, romantic sort of mood.
