This picture is a perfect example of contrast, harmony, and balance. The different skin tones give us a very high-level of contrast. Although the colors are opposite of each other, they balance one another out. It is interesting how parts of the black hand match the lighter tones in the white one and parts of the white arm match the darker colors of the other. The way the space around the hands changes from dark to light in the center complimenting the harmony of the main image. The chain provides a feeling of power ad conviction along with unity. The way the fist are formed as perfect mirror images of each other shows more harmony. This picture is a common one I have seen in reproduced in many different ways some have the desired effect while others fall flat.
