What're you lookin' at?

There are lots of ways you as a photographer can encourage people to look at just the part of a photo you want them to look at.

This scene had lots of distractions such as cars in the background and a number of people doing different things. However by getting low so that the kayaks draw the viewers eye in to the central person, and by framing that person with lots of empty sky, the viewer can't help but look at the intended face.
