The right side of the image seems more like its the peripheral vision; it's plain and quite unspecial. These inequalities cause the image to lose it's tension and cause the eye to only focus on one side of the image, but I think that when you're working with an image that you've taken the time and effort with you want people to see the whole thing. Cropping may have also been effective. The perspective too leaves me a little discombobulated but in this instance I think it works co-operatively with the imagery and its thought provoking meaning. If you're interested in attaining a more realistic perspective I would highly suggest working with vanishing points and horizons. I really like this a lot though.
Just thought I'd offer alternative perspective - firstly that if this is for the cover of something then it's understandable that it's unbalanced due to the nature of covers, with space needed for words which would be on the cover. But even with that put aside, I feel that if this was centered then it would not have been as effective. If anything, maybe something that isn't really a direct part of the image could be placed on the right, such as a moon or ... something. All I'm saying is that I like how the focus of the picture is not in the dead center of the image, because the things being portrayed in this image are something that is not often in such a plain view. As I said, just an alternative perspective (although I found it difficult to say what I meant, I hope the idea got across).

I think all five images are absolutely brilliant. It is now a case of picking out the best of the best for sure. I am really, really impressed with all of you and I look forward to you submitting as much as you can to the revamped FanArt section if/when it goes live.
