Themed Competition – Leading Lines

Judge: John Putnam

Theme Definition:

Leading lines are defined as lines that appear in a photograph that have been framed and positioned by the photographer to draw the viewer’s eye through the image in a specific direction  toward the subject or designated area of the photograph. They can be straight or curved, horizontal, vertical or diagonal, and everything in between. Leading lines can be created by any element within the scene, such as roads, rivers, bridges, buildings, or even people. The important thing is that they create a visual path for the viewer to follow, leading them towards the subject and creating a sense of depth and movement within the image.
