It also helps that he's surrounded by negative space and the golden light from sunset, and the use of the rule of thirds.)

Contrast brings rhythm and layers to the image, and that in turn draws attention from the viewers.)

To reinforce this focal point, she is also placed on the lower third of the image, and the shallow depth of field keeps her from merging with the trees. This also keep the snowflakes visible, adding a new element to the atmosphere.)

What guides our eyes to the points of interest is the rule of thirds: she is aligned right on top of the right third line, and her face is in the exact intersection of the right and upper thirds. The use of a tilted camera creates diagonal lines on the background and between her face and the Sawtooth's face, adding tension and movement. (Horizon Zero Dawn))

Therefore it is not common to have items or subjects put in the dead center. In this example, having the character in the middle of the photo works perfectly because it is showing scale, just how large the world around him is. It also helps that due to the layout of the land, it is not a flat horizon but a more triangular composition giving also the depth to the image.)

You’ll notice this area is off-center. Going back to the rule of thirds, you generally don’t want to center a point of interest. As you pan over the bright light, your eyes begin to veer leftward onto the large statues, again in the left third of the in-game photo.

09:45, 13 September 2020 Abratox talk contribs created page File:Lines.jpg (Artificial and naturally occurring lines and curves can have a dramatic effect on the overall composition of an image. Lines contribute to an illusion of depth and oftentimes bring attention to a specific focal point for the viewer. Arranging subjects and objects along lines can direct a person to follow along the picture for the perception of movement. Landscape shots tend to invoke a sense of stillness and tranquility thanks in part to a naturally occurring horizontal line)

Rather than the hills and stone markers all being the same size, each is unique, with some larger than others. You can see the different markers placed closer to and farther from the horizon. The same can be said of the hills, each sloping and guiding the eye to move from one to the other, culminating in the larger mountain all the way in the back.)
