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.

Taken in December 2005 in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, UK.

I wanted to photograph the Christmas lights but the weather was turning nasty, so I set up my tripod underneath an awning left by a market trader and experimented with zoom bursts on one of the decorations.

This started 'out' and zoomed towards 'in' - it's had levels and curves adjusted a bit, but nothing radical apart from that.

Camera: Pentax *ist DS
Lens: Sigma 28-300
ISO: 200
Aperture: f38
Exposure: 3 seconds
