    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_weight

    The visual weight and the balance of a figure inserted in an image can be determined using the lightness of the figure, the lightness of the ground and their sizes and positions interactions in the composition visual. We establish that an image is totally balanced when the resultant force is located in the geometric center of the image.
