The Birth of Venus looks perfect.

At first glance, everything holds together.
The pose feels balanced.
The figure feels graceful.
Nothing seems out of place.

Her shoulders don’t align with her torso.
Her left arm bends in a way that wouldn’t connect cleanly to the body.
Her stance couldn’t support her weight.
If this were a real person, she would fall.
