There are different items on both sides but together they create a balanced look.

Emphasis. 

Each picture has emphasis on one specific thing. When looking at the picture your eye goes to one specific detail. 

Movement. 

Details in the picture move your eye through the picture. Each picture has things that create idea of movement. 

Repetition and Rhythm.

Each picture has things that repeat but also create rhythm.
