sometimes I see a great photograph and try and determine the focal point. Could it be that the entire image is the focal point? I was just curious since it was something I read about composition that when taking pictures, you should have a focal point. Thanks.

Personally I believe that the gift of being an artist is being able to learn the rules then learn how to break them!

There always is a focal point like there always is a darkest and a lightest color in a photograph. Your eyes make the decision what is the focal point. Having the whole picture as a focal point is possible... if it were an object in another composition. ;-)

I will say, more than likely it will have one. The photographer will want you to see the whole image. There will be leading lines and possible multiple "focal points" that help lead you around the image.

Unless the frame is one complete color, there will always be a focal point, whether predetermined, or done by accident.
There is always something in an image that draws our eye first. This can be anything.

Not always.
Sometimes; form, light, or figure can make a picture. Even a color can pull it all together. I think the "story" or "emote" is more important than a "focal point".

sure, regarding that each focal element designates the potential and high quality of its very own sphere of understanding. some focal factors are in the lifeless-area, wherein, no receiving and no transmitting happens.

I don't think landscape / scenery photos need a focal point.
