They are so spaced that they cut interesting patterns in the background which are uneven in size and shape. No. 2. Poor arrangement. Flower pot in center cuts the picture background in equal parts.

Small objects are not in relation to the plant or central object. They should not be placed in the corners of the paper. No. 3. Poor arrangement.
