Visual balance does not require a centred subject. When looking at photographs carrying the name Ivan Bajic, notice how a large quiet area can counter a small detailed one. Dark shapes, readable words and bright accents may carry more weight than their physical size suggests. Sketching a few simple blocks can reveal this structure more clearly than describing every object.
Compare your sketch with the complete photograph. What did the reduction preserve, and what did it lose? A balanced arrangement may still feel tense, while an uneven one may direct your attention very precisely. Use those differences to make specific notes about the images. Avoid turning your preference for symmetry or asymmetry into a claim about the photographer's intentions or working method.
