Keep the eye moving

This image of Wagner Falls in northern Michigan is one of my best selling waterfall scenes. At my last gallery show, I sold two gallery wraps and the show before that a 24x36 framed print. At least half of the people who have purchased it, have told me that they first noticed the red rock.

The eye likes to follow lines and here in this image I believe is a perfect example; 1 The logs on the right form an arrow pointing out the rock. 2 from the rock you are naturally look up following the vertical lines formed by the water. 3 At the top of the falls the log takes your eye to the right with the yellow leaves and back down to the naturally formed arrow. This movement forms a frame around my subject.

When possible consider using natural elements to frame your subject, it will draw attention and interest to your subject. To see an unmarked copy follow the address below.
