The eye is drawn to biggest brightest thing on the screen. focus starts on the large plant (left side) biggest brightest thing in the image, focus will then shift to the character as the (fastest moving object) as she moves from left to the right side of the image, look upwards toward the ray of the sun and pause there for awhile singing(Red Line). The plants on the lower and upper right are (Natural Lines) that guide our eyes back to the character and bounces over there (Orange Line). The railing and archways are natural eye guides too that moves the eye between focuses
I learned from a guy in cgtalk that, a "good composition usually has at least three things the eye is drawn to and then bounces around between those thing things at least, and your eye isn't lead off the screen. It could be a trail of stuff that naturally leads the eye there too. Great composition can often lead your eye around a scene and progressively tell a story about whats going on in a picture in the scene. Like you see, oh, I see the character started here, went over there, did this, then ended up there, all from a single shot."
he gave me this as an example of great composition and I think it really is.
NOTE: the picture below isn't my artwork and does not belong to me.
the first image is a great example of simplicity, what's great is that our focus starts at the other end of the image and goes to the main focus(right side).
The second image has a great story telling through composition (single shot), no words are needed to tell what happened in this scenario. The lines and focus point are leading properly.
