The lines in a photograph lead the eye to the distant point where they converge. Try that out with some recent pictures I have taken

Power lines cross the fields behind our HQ in Melksham - and the eye follows to where they meet the horizon


The hedge, the amphibian barrier, and the fence around the Melksham Oak school site converge into the distance, where your eye is naturally drawn


This seven lane highway is on the outskirts on Atlanta ... and the road lines and traffic naturally draw the eye to look at Atlanta Downtown which - although small - is significant in the picture


Even without any formal lines, aren't you looking to the front of this queue at Gatwick to see what we're waiting for?
