How can too much headroom affect the viewer's eye?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The viewer's eye may wander into unnecessary empty area
In portrait composition, headroom should support the subject rather than compete with it. If excessive empty space is left above the head, that bright or open area may attract the viewer’s attention away from the face, weakening focus and making the subject seem too low in the frame. Option A is correct. Extra headroom does not automatically enlarge the face, create depth, or remove the foreground.
