29. Emphasis by Isolation

Isolation is another technique of emphasis by contrast. When an object or aspect of an image is separated from the majority, the eye is often drawn to that isolated object. In this photo, the white squares in the window are mostly bunched in the bottom portion. However, the one white square in the top right corner stands alone, and coincidentally is also emphasized by the contrast of value against the surrounding black panels.
