focal point

This is a image by Vee Speers.

Focal point is generally what your eye is drawn to when you first look at the image if the photographer has done it well then you will see strait away what they wanted you to see. It's the central point of interst.

In this image i think the focal point is on the two children because they could be showing there feelings by what there doing in the image i think the photographer has done this well because there not smack bang and boring the boy is facing the other way that gives it a different edge to it and what he's doing, so you start to wonder where the actual focal point is.
 Position is also key to a good picture with a good focal point the way the object/person is placed in the image.
