In which situation will positive space become too dominant?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The main object fills almost the entire page without breathing space.
Positive space is the area occupied by the subject or visible forms, whereas negative space surrounds them. Option A makes the positive space too dominant because the enlarged subject leaves no breathing room, producing a cramped composition. A small balanced object, sufficient negative space, and a calm background can support visual balance rather than overpower it.
