Follow Your Eye
Happy 2016!
Here is a small post where I will talk about 'following your eye'. What do I mean by that? Okay, answer these few questions... Where does your eye first look at? Where does it then lead to?
Most likely, it was the wooden dock and then following it out to the middle of the water. After that your eye wanders the photograph to every other spot.
The whole point of the 'follow your eye' concept is a way you can lead the viewer's eyes to something in the form of "show don't tell". You are not saying "Hey! Look over to the middle of the lake!" Instead, something in the picture does that for you.
This is also another way to grasp that attention of the viewer, depending on your subject, colors in your photograph, and objects. But most importantly, it is how you make it original.
