With respect to what? Your question is too general. :dunno:
e.g. Lighting (Exposure) or Foreground to background interest (Composition).
I feel that balancing of a photo means using the various elements in a picture to support each other. It should be in terms of composition? no? Say you visualize a picture with a subject placed at 1/3 position. Just a small one. The rest of the area is empty. Doesnt it feel wierd? However, if you have a little something on the other side, even if its an oof of the same thing or animal. It sort of fills up the space and give more ommph to the picture. am not an expert but just giving 2cts. =) Balancing can be done with the same element or different element i guess. Like human, with a building etc?

So your definition of BP is exposure and composition balanced?
hokays thanks your view is almost similar to mine. But I think BP is subjective. I showed some photos to some people and got various feedback about what is a BP (balanced photo). The feedback varied to the point of contradicting one another. I guess this kind of thing is to each his own kind. However, why is it that some pro photos can receive :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: from everybody? Something must be lacking in my photo skill, and this is the part the I would want to work on.
