5 Ways to Hold Your Viewer’s Attention.

One of the most important things your photo should have is an ability to hold your viewers attention. There are a lot of techniques that can be used to help you compose your shot so that people will spend more than a second looking at it. Besides keeping your viewers focused on your photo, the techniques below can also help emphasis your main subject.
There are many ways to hold your viewer's attention. Here are five that you can easily start off with:
1. VIGNETTE
A vignette is a gradual loss of light and picture quality towards the edge of the photo due to poor lens construction. Although it is considered a lens aberration, a vignette is helpful in drawing the viewer's attention towards the center of the photo. It also adds character to a photo since it makes it look like it was taken with an old camera.
