Focal Point
An Exclusive Open Challenge using the Basic Editing rules.
Description
The focal point of your image provides a place for the eye to rest or something of interest to really hold the viewer's interest. Without a focal point you will find people may simply glance at your shots and then move on to the next one. Go out a shoot your photo this week with an interesting focal point.
