The mass of color in this composition is concentrated at dead center. It is surrounded by elaborated parentheses that separate the blues from the outer reds. Surrounding the dark outlines is a virtually concentric lighter outline.
The dark line protruding from the bottom of the central figure is also a balance point.
Normally, I like imbalance, but I like this composition a lot, for some reason.

Rotated 90 degrees, this composition looks like one of those happy penguins. TY, Claudia!
