The reason that I think I am drawn to the original picture is the contrasting lines that make up the tiles.  Thats not necessarily what stands out most to me though, but i do think that they are what draw me in.  The thing that stands out to me the most is the corner of the box that appears closest to the audience.  I think the rule of thirds is used here.  The corner looks like it is right at the first intersection.  The use of lines and shapes help to guide the audiences' eye to the second intersection.  The biggest object in the picture is made up of squares, and the edge created by two of the squares makes a line that points directly to the body.  The body is also shown in the background with the use of limited space.  The contrasting lines that make up the tiles really do a lot to create a depth to the picture as well as the contrasting uses of the black and white colors.  Based on all of these aspects of the picture that the artist added to make his audience look where he wanted them to, my subconsciousness makes me feel that this manlike being in the picture has achieved dominance in where ever he is.  I think that the staff and shadow are what do.  This is why I chose to re frame the picture to be more focused on him.
