Find the right balance for presentations

When chosing a stock photo for a presentation you should try to find the right balance in the picture. It should not be to detailed and not to abstract. The picture is in the presentation to say something. It could be used to explain something that is easier to explain with an image than with words. It also makes it easier for the audience to remember what you talked about in your presentation. So, remember; not to many details if not necessary. Not to abstract, then it doesn't give your presentation anything else than some redundant or misleading information.
