I created this page for an assignment at Get It Scrapped 4 Reasons to Design A Scrapbook Page with Generous White Space http://debbiehodge.com/2012/11/4-reasons-to-design-a-scrapbook-page-with-generous-white-space/.
One reason is to use white space because it fits your subject, as the snow did in my page.

The photo is from a weekend in Yosemite during the first beautiful snowfall of the season.
I adjusted the photo lighting to high contrast and enhanced the magical quality by adding FotoGlows in overlight mode.
