Red Sails
by Laura Milholland

San Francisco, CA

The image would be "heavy" on the right due to the dark buildings, but the bright color and white sails,
along with the bridge and bit of wave on the left, balance things out.
An example of asymmetrical balance. . . .
Although it's not sunset - the song "Red Sails in the Sunset" came to mind. ;)

I really like this shot. It almost looks like you did selective coloring with the red. I see the balance you are speaking of. Well done.

The pop of color and the waves also add to the Balance.

Very nice! The direction the boat is sailing also seems to pull toward the left giving the photo additional balance with the buildings. Nicely done!
