Composition in Photography: Selective Focus

What is Selective Focus?
Selective Focus is when you put emphasize or isolate one main part of the photo by using depth of field. One thing in the picture stands out while the background is either blurred or dull. To create selective focus you can use larger aperture to reduce the zone in front and behind of the main focal point.

Here are some examples.
