zen

Great topic Ron. Robert Steven refers to this as the "point of interest". Much like in photography, when you shoot something, there is something there that you are shooting, that one object (or idea) is the "subject", and it can be anything as specific as a bird sitting on a branch,....or something as abstract as the tranquility of a beach.
