What is a focal point?

Using the settings on a camera, we can focus on different points of an image. These different focus points can change what the main subject of an image is. By choosing the focus of an image, the photographer can choose where they want the viewer to look first.

Furthermore, the higher the ‘F’ number the higher the depth of field. This is shown in the diagram below.

These are my attempts at using different focal points and also including a sense of depth in my photographs.
