For this exercise, chose another of the childrens' toys against a black cloth background. The first observation is that with a plain background, there is no relationship between the object and its surroundings.
The first image shows the digger placed centrally in the image, illuminated from both sides evenly. Clearly with no background distrations, the digger is the clear focus of attention. But this is a record image with no artistic merit.
The remaining images also have little to offer, though the shadow on the last image extending into the centre of the image at least gives the eye something to follow.
Whilst the subject and background chosen did not result in an interesting post, I think it does show that to find an 'optimal' position for the subject in the frame, it relies on there being more than one point of interest, thus leading us towards the question of balance and symmetry.
