The next weekly challenge: Lines

There are all sorts of ways lines can be used to benefit an image. Everyone knows about leading lines within a photo, drawing the viewer's focus to the primary subject. Lines can also be decorative, provide a dramatic pattern, or even be the main subject itself. Let's see how your images line-up and good luck.

Dave,

Per rule number 1 for the challenge, you can only submit one image per challenge. Either you need to choose one of the images you have already posted or post a new one and claim that as your entry.

One of the things my girlfriend and I love to do occasionally on a Sunday morning is to head down to this cafe for a lovely cappuccino and some of the best dessert in town (see why I said 'occasionally'?) We grab "our" table by a window that overlooks a quiet and sleepy street, read the morning's newspaper, talk, eat... moments to cherish.

I've always admired the lines and the strong, repetitive yet understated symmetry of this building across the street. On this particular morning I liked that I could see signs of habitation... shampoo bottles and a car parked in front, with the cable hitting it at just the spot where the sunlight glinted off the body.

This photograph was made sometime last year with my Pentax P3 and the A-50mm/2 lens using Ilford HP5+ film. The barrel distortion is surprisingly pronounced in this photograph... I tried to correct it in Photoshop but wasn't particularly successful so I left it at that

[atupdate]

could use a few more.

How is it possible I have thousands of images, yet no 'lines' ?



This was taken from the 100 Acre Woods Rally earlier this year in southern Missouri.

justuspr,

Just to make sure I understand your message, the first picture posted is your challenge entry. Am I correct?
