Steven,
And sadly, this Vermeer still languishes at a Flemish garage sale (do they have garages in Flem?).
I think these matters can be very tricky and I don't have any formula for what might work and what might just be considered bad design. Personally, I rather like the off center design for #5, and to me it has everything to do with the full extended bow on our right. Scott's advice is sound and I would advise anyone listening to give it a lot of weight, but sometimes you just want to throw something different against the wall and see if it sticks. Many of my designs are now sticking to the walls of my garage.
In looking back over my images I found this one. The hair is up which I like, and, notice the single digit on her left hand. A bit of transcontinental telepathy no doubt. This one doesn't finish as well on the bottom but that part would be much easier to manage.
