Project 16 defining a point

A point in a photograph can be defined as something which draws the eye. This can be achieved through creative use of focus for example Or colour, tone, lighting, texture perhaps? Any way to make something stand out against its background. Scale and size are important too, although I would agree that this can be hard to define.

This, I think is a good example of an obvious point. Your eye is drawn straight to it and it stands out well from the background.


In this photo the eye is drawn to the cats eye, the one on the viewers right. It stands out from the background because of its colour and also by the lighting.


Here the eye is drawn to the moon. It stands out due to its luminosity and its colour.


This one is interesting. It stands out due to its colour but also I think because it contrasts with the straight lines of the door.
