Here is my page. Can you tell which photo is my focal point and why?

The bottom photo is the focal point. I've tried to draw attention to it in the following ways:
- matted the photo and adhered it to the page with raised adhesive
- placed the photo on the vertical patterned paper in a "sweet spot" of intersecting lines (rule of thirds)
- placed my title on the photo
- placed journaling and embellishments around the photo

I made my own embellishments using Spellbinders circle dies, Creative Memories circle cutter and Studio Calico wood veneer shapes. A little stitching adds dimension and gives a finished look.

ReplyDeleteFabulous layout. The title on the photo gave it away for me. :) Is it bad for me to admit that I don't think about focal points all that much? Probably only when I really want to emphasize one photo over another but usually I don't think about it. Off to check out the article to see if I should be paying more attention.... Have a great weekend!
