Mike,
I think that the triangle from the bowl to the girl's head, looking at the bubble on top and back to the bowl is the compositional construction that should balance the picture.
In my opinion it fails to do so. I feel that there should be more space on the left side, about the double distance from the boy's elbow to the frame.
That would make the dark area of the boy's shirt, and the bobble in making, the center of the picture.

The two kids are much of the same size, but I feel that the boy's dark shirt is dominating the picture and therefore should be more in the center of the composition.

Maybe, if the print is a bit too light, my assumptions are fault, and should be forgotten.

Allan
