advice placing photos on wall

There is a lady that I know that does those room makeovers. I had a bunch of pictures (not photos) I wanted to do a grouping. Her suggestions was not to have the gap between the pictures larger than the width of the frames.
As for the order, from the lightest to the darkest?? But too me the lowest left and the top two right seem to "go together".

oh those are great suggestions! i will have to remember those!
I agree, they go together by color. Is there anything you can "frame" the pictures with? Either a mirror, window, cabinet, doorframe where they will not look like a photo gallery? They are great pictures, but putting them all together takes away from them as individuals. Does that make sense?
I would suggest, however you decide to put them, the middle one on the right should be the first on the left. That picture immediately drawls the eye to what is to come because of the half circle there. Maybe if you have a blank wall, rather than putting them in rows, make a rainbow out of them. Stagger where they are placed...just make sure they are even.
Just a suggestion. If you would see my house, you would NOT be impressed!! But, they are great pics!
To me, the fact that the top left and bottom right pictures "go together" means they should be kept apart! I like them just where they are, providing balance as the only two "warm-color" shots in the grouping.
I would put the middle left picture on the bottom left, put the pyramid in the upper right, and move upper right to middle left.
And then if that didn't look quite right, I might switch the two middle pictures, because as Calico said, the half-circle does move the eye down and to the right... and you usually want a Z-shaped movement for the eyes in an arrangement like this.
And I would also try to have the same amount of space between all the pictures on all sides... preferably not too tight.
It's really smart of you to try it in the computer first like this! Great idea...

thanks for your suggestions everyone. I'll try these on my computer and see what's cool. I did try to separate the two warm color pictures, but think it might look neat to go from light to dark vertically.
As for the gallery, I think that's possibly what it's supposed to look like. I mean I think that's the effect I'm going for. I have a large space of nothing on my wall and I don't want to put a piece of furniture there. It's also the space that divides my dining area from my living area. do you still think that's ok? Or does it look silly?

I would try to make them more symetrical, balancing the elements in the photos. For example, you have the eiffel tower and another tower, (big ben?) I would put big ben in top left, and put the eiffel in lower right.
Then you have two with trees framing the picture. On those, I would put the one with the point and the palm tree( on lower left) in the middle right. The one in middle right, I would put in middle left. tha leaves the orange ceiling and the one with water. they would have to go in the lower left and top right corners, I think maybe the oranbe would be better on the bottom, but I would have to play with them to decide.
