In this image, there is the same size of the women in all four. Also, the hands are all equally positioned. The skin color of one women, indicates the negative space, and the focal point are the woman. Variety "Harmony and variety play tug-of-war in a composition. Too much harmony is boring while too much variety is aimless and incomprehensible."
