There is a certain degree of emphasis that works with every composition. Should the artist over step the limit, it risks disrupting the unity of a composition. Of course, this may be on purpose so as to take the viewer's eyes away from something they don't want the viewer to see right away. In this painting above, the woman's black dress stands out in contrast to everything around her. She is what is seen first and then as the viewer's eyes move through the design, the children around her begin to appear. However, her dress is such a huge contrast that the viewer's eyes keep coming back to her.
