I was drawn to this particular image because I really enjoy the work of Salvador Dali. I reframed my version of the image so that the eye was perfectly in the center of the 9-squared box created by dividing the image into horizontal and vertical thirds. I believe the artist framed the image the way he did to emphasize the large amount of space. In my image, the eye doesn't look as isolated; however, the eye looks alone in a desolate, barren wasteland in the original image. In both images, the lines leading to the horizon establish the visual rhythm and lead our eyes to the eye, then the horizon. The original image would be considered a long shot, whereas mine is more of a medium shot.
