A short article from Usefilm.com. Here is a snipet from the article that I think sums it up real well.
"Seeing" is a skill we need to develop…that we continuously develop. The best professional photographers in the world buy photography books all the time. It is surely not done so they can write letters to the author and comment on their work. They do so because they are continuously honing their skill of observation.
One thing I'm realizing is that my eye is sometimes artificially drawn to part of the picture as I watch it load. I've decided to try to let pictures load fully before looking at them. I also look down at my keyboard and then look up at the fully loaded picture several times to see where my eye goes.

That is an excellent idea. That way you get the vision of the whole right from the start. I think I will put this to practice when evaluating submissions on later challenges.
