What to expect
I expect to find out what makes the focal point a focal point and if anyone can have a different focal point from others and if how? By positioning the bottle in different areas of the frame.
What I assume may affect someone’s focal point on an object
The positioning of the object, Colours, Personal association with objects, The size of the object, The definition of the image (How clear is it), How far away are we from the object, the surroundings
