An idea, but, I don't think it works that way. The viewer’s eye will be immediately drawn to the brightest, colorful, and most contrasted area first, so just flipping will not solve the problem. Even having some sort of pointer to the center of interest will not stop that from happening. Those areas scream for attention and they get it.
Thanks for the high praise horseman; coming from a master such as you is high praise indeed. I am humbled.

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
