Contrast

This piece by Jane Jones, entitled "Natures Magic" is a great example of the use of contrast to create a focal point, or point of emphasis.  The deep red stripes of the lily (at least I believe it is some sort of lily, but admittedly do not know flowers that well) immediately attract the eye, and differentiates itself from the rest of the blues and whites of the vase and the tablecloth.  The shot above shows the piece with a yellow circle around the aforementioned focal point.
