Create enough space around the focal point to make a clear visual separation. Imagine a movie or any music that has a pause before the climax.

Making a clear separation between the background elements and focal point is the goal of composition. As an example, contrasting horizontal and vertical shapes. I suggest switching horizontal shapes for the background rather than having vertical mountains. As a result, vertical shapes in the focal point overlaps the horizontal shapes in background which creates a sense of depth.

It is difficult to read a scene if every visual element is strong and intense. Place a subtle flow between important areas to make a visual rhythm.
