is ok. The others suffer from either repetiveness or compostion color issues. The best way to do things is work with the major colors from your main picture.

The primary color is brown, but it relies on contrast more than color contrast. In this case, there are multiple points of focus, on the far right and the left. Her eyes, which contrast harshly against the rest of the image, grab attention.

Uses color contrast more than the previous image. You know where your focus should be. It's where the color is.

On the other hand, it is very clear where your focus should be. Loki's face, and his name are obvious standouts.

An awesome example of how to work off a single color.

Generally speaking, repeating the same image without some sort of difference is both jarring and boring. You've seen it before.

It is quite possible, however, to use the same image more than once: but it's not really the same image.
