There are two points in this image of Anna and the River Exe; the swan and the dog herself. I would argue that there is a third; that of the invisble thing they both appear to be observing.
In this image the single point is the swan swimming through the dawn mist.
Whilst the swans occupies most of the frame, the eye is drawn to the 'point' of its head under the water.
The reclaimed mill stone lies unusually at a point in the centre of the frame.
In this image of the central hall of the Melbourne Library, the lamp create a foreground point.
The Harley Davidson sits at the bottom of the woodland setting as the point in this image.
The flag serves as a point in this farm setting.
In these images points can be seen as something that stands out within the context of the frame. The flag is incongruous in the rural setting; the motorcycle is out of place in a woodland; the round mill stone sits in a central location amongst many straight lines; the swans head is the only thing in the frame that is underwater.
Other drivers of points
- Something distinct on a horizon
- Something distinct in shape or colour that punctuated the image
- Something showing movement in an otherwise static image
- Something 'apart' in an image filled with the same
- An unusual gesture in scene.
- A distinct colour in a broader, common pallete.
Sydney Opera House serves as a point in this image due to its contrasting colour and shape against a uniformly blue background. There is a second point where the sign writing light aircraft has completed the first word of 'marry me' in the sky above.
