May Assignment: Leading Lines - 05-01-2009, 10:11 PM


We're going to do something a little more complicated this month.. hopefully we still have some participation.

Show me shots with leading lines.

Leading lines are items or objects in your image that redirect the eyes back to the subject of the image...

I'd been racking my brain on this one and admittedly had been looking around my environment for something that would fit the theme of "leading lines"....and I happened to be at DFW today getting some shots of airliners and this one popped out and screamed at me:

My Attempt - 05-07-2009, 11:49 PM


Not sure if the split of the tracks actually works for leading lines but figured I would give it a shot.

Second one with the Bride, again not sure that they are really leading lines, suppose to lead the eyes to the center I suppose.

Now I'll break the rules a bit. These lines tend to lead you forward to the front rider.

Rock from the left, wake from the right, got lines all over this one, but the wake cutting across is kinda zig-zaggy, don't know if it counts as a line?

Not near as fancy as some of the previous images, but...



Also this one I forgot about.



I apologize for them not being shot in the month of May; I'm not sure if that's a requirement for the challenge.
