Image Annotation for Detail Spotlight

Above, one of the many press corps insiders reposting this particular jaw-dropping image from an American farmer's field in once forest country Saturday night.

Its first posting, belonging to the employer of the taker, who the target above labels 'the world's best photographer', resides as I blog here.

With a quick glance the streaking bullet is easily overlooked.

Hence the rather rudimentary thin-width outlined red oval. At least they used the kind of Powerpoint shape even the newest user ought muster. Rather than the typical touch screen device of finger-daubed squiggle as the meme version of writing with crayons.

Elsewhere, I did see others place their own highlighting device. A different colour from red for their oval outline. A less squashed shape which didn't breach the sky 'container' and so stopped short of the person. Such as the initial publisher's treatment (at foot).

And this other spotlight, linked to also of the initial publisher, by way of box and slightly brightened contents.

With helpful label, Bullet.

The publication's tweet is also at foot below. Showing further text exposition. How they headline their image; "Photo Appears to Capture Path of Bullet Used in Assassination Attempt".

A few also tried the always worthy Before-After comparison. Although a touch elusive at first glance.

Proving how necessary their spotlight was.

Such deployment is all too seldom seen in the field of Sales presentations. Which means mighty trick missed. I even included half-a-dozen options in my book, 101 Charts That Sell.

Also a key device in ensuring you tell your audience what they must remember multiple times. As you can set up all manner of un-spotlighted, spotlight, and zoomed-in spotlight versions - with all manner of text or other markers - as you go through any progressive disclosure slide reveal.

Where's their streaking bullet which you can help them dodge?

& bonus meme reminder to do the Rembrandt when video calling, or in this case, the Vincent Van Gogh...
