i dont really understand what is meant by balance, so i have just been looking at this as a free study, that being said, this strikes me as more of a negative space shot (which is what i had in mind had i entered this challenge)

Very strong image. Beautiful clarity and color, and I love the negative space.

In the many hours of research on out of Balance... this one photo above all others hits what I gleened, supberb use of negative space! My only opinion is I would have liked to seen a sharper focus on the scale. But well done!
