This photo has many contrasting shapes and colors. The colors from the sunset mixed with the sky create a contrast of colors, also making the main focal point be the sun.
On page 36 Nicole Woods describes focal point as, " ...a focal point is something that your eyes cannot let go of. Yes, your view may stray from time to time, but it will return to the focal point."
A focal point can also be described as the first thing that catches your attention.
The contrasting of shapes and colors can help recognize the focal point.
This quote from page 36 from Nicole Woods tells us how using the contrasting colors of the sky and sun we can recognize the focal point.
