Line 12: The DM can only be applied on images where certain details are supposed to be emphasized or exaggerated, such as a [[portrait]] in which a specific body part deserves extra attention by the viewer, or a photograph for advertising a [[Product (business)\|product]]. Photographs of [[landscapes]] and [[architecture]] usually rely on the composition as a whole, or have lines other than the bisections to determine the composition, such as the horizon.<ref>Elzenga, J. W. (2009). Digitale fotografie natuur: Tips en technieken voor het fotograferen van landschap en dieren. (Digital photography in nature: Tips and techniques for photographing landscapes and animals.) Amsterdam: Pearson Education. P. 49.</ref> Only if the picture includes details such as persons, (standalone) trees, or [[buildings]] is the DM applicable. == ~~Evidence~~Theory == Diagonals, the middle [[perpendiculars]], the [[Centre (geometry)\|center]] and the corners of a square are ~~known~~said to comprise the force lines in a square, and are regarded by some as more powerful than other parts in a square.<ref>Arnheim, R. (1954). Art and visual perception: A psychology of the creative eye. Los Angeles: University of California Press.</ref> To what extent these findings can be applied on [[rectangles]], such as photographs in ratios of 4:3 and 3:2, has not yet been researched. Apart from visual [[experiment]]s that support the theory of the DM, there are no known scientific sources that can theoretically confirm the DM. == References ==
