It is the center of interest or activity. It's an act of concentrating interest or activity on something. In photography, this would be making something in a photograph stand out more than anything else. The focal point in a photo should draw your eye to it. The example in this photo, by Vee Speers, is the rabbit. This is because it is what is different in the picture as it is much more overcast and seems out of place in the girl's arm.

I think this is a powerful photograph. This is because as my eyes snap to the rabbit and then drift around the rest of the picture, it seems very out of place, as I mentioned before. Also her hair is a colour that isn't common for girls around her age. The immediacy of Vee Speers’ imagery is overwhelming. Faces look directly at the viewer creating a quietly dramatic tension urging a reaction from the viewer. Looking at these photographs, Speers strikes a chord within us to trigger our own concerns in relation to today’s paranoid society. The emotive responses to her work divulge more about the viewer than the viewed.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find a fitting Slideshare for this particular post, however, I have multiple links to sites which I thought would be helpful.
