Leading lines

Today I'm going to chat about another composition tool I use a lot called leading lines. What it is, essentially, is including some sort of line in your image that subconsciously makes your eyeballs examine the entire frame. That, after all, is the goal of an image, You can mix, match, and combine these composition tools for ridiculously cool pictures!

You can use pretty much anything as a leading line, and it doesn't even have to be a straight line. A river flowing throughout your image... a gripping horizon line... street lines (even the dotted ones work!)... all are examples of using this in your photography. Cool tip, eh?

Already everybody! Line up!!
