Although this image seems very jumbled, there are actually several leading lines that are forcing your eye to the blue central point. The stalagmite line on the bottom of the frame points directly to the blue light while the stalactite line on the top of the cave echos that direction. On the left there is a slightly tilted formation that creates a pointing finger effect at the blue light as well. This is a very good example of how using centering (the blue light) with subtle leading lines can create order out of a chaotic scene.
