What risk can occur by keeping very equal spacing among objects in a still life?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The composition may look mechanical and less natural.
The governing concept is spacing as a compositional tool. If every gap between still-life objects is nearly identical, the eye may detect a rigid repeated pattern rather than natural grouping, making the arrangement appear mechanical. Thus, option A is correct. Unequal spacing can establish groups and hierarchy, although it should be controlled; equal spacing does not automatically create realism or strong depth, and it does not eliminate negative space.
