The photographers of these two pictures probably intended to balance them with the subjects. The picture on the left is balanced because the chair is off to the left and the window is off to the right. The picture on the right is imbalanced because the flower is basically in the center which isn't a correctly balanced picture.

The pictures that I took on the left are imbalanced photos because the subjects are off center and have nothing else surrounding them. The pictures that I took on the right are balanced photos because the subjects are off center but the backgrounds compliment the foregrounds so they work.
