AtomWords Insights:
counterweight placement balances a large, dominant subject on one side of the frame with a smaller, high-contrast element positioned on the opposite side.
Visual leverage through contrast: To make the smaller element function as a true counterweight, give it higher visual energy than its larger partner. A tiny splash of saturated color, a sharp geometric edge, or a bright highlight can easily balance a massive, muted, or shadow-filled shape on the opposite side of the frame.
Preserve the empty middle: The negative space between the two subjects is the scale that weighs them. Avoid cluttering this gap with midground details, as an empty field is required to maintain the visual tension that holds the composition together.
