Imagine two paintings:
In one there would be two identical houses in the distance and three ships (the tallest one - exactly in the center and the two on the edges would be identical).
In another, the houses would be quite similar but not identical and the ship on the right would have white sails while the one on the left would have dark brown sails. On the extreme right of the painting would be depicted a lonely tree.
Two questions:
1. Which one of the two paintings would have the perfect symmetry?
2. Which one would be more interesting?
