How do I make one photo the focal point?
The simplest way is to enlarge the shot. In most cases, the larger the shot, the greater the impact. Or do the reverse and shrink the supporting shots.
Distinguish your focal shot by singling it out as the only black-and-white or the only color photo in the group. Check out this page by Erin Roe. All four of her shots are the same size, but the sole black-and-white version stands out.
Accents also can bring attention to your main photo. This can be as obvious as a pointing arrow or as coy as a row of embellishments creating a path to it.
For the most impact, combine a few of the above ideas.
