Leading the viewers eye

[Dave (Isle of Skye)]

Here is another one of my images from the archive, not the best image I've ever taken granted, but probably not the worst one either, but I think what this image does do really well, is give a good example of how to think about and use compositional elements, to lead the viewers eye on a satisfactory journey through the image, from the prominent weed bottom left, through to the trees in the gap top right and then back again.

It was spring in the UK, on a very, very windy day, so I had to use quite a fast shutter speed to stop the weeds/flowers from moving, then apply a bit of soft focus overlay to remove the noise.

This one works well.

I often find old treasures in my archives that I overlooked when they were fresh. Never throw anything away!

That's pretty much how I used to plead my position vis à vis my wife... fortunately, she listened!

For me, I would prefer the bottom and left hand side to be darker - which would help stop the eye drifting out to the left.
