You probably got many comments already about that, but your picture is really too small. It's too bad because it seems like a nice picture that would have meet the challenge.
Well you certainly accomplished finding some lines! My take is that the lines lead the viewer out of the photo, though, instead of towards a subject per se. Also suggest clicking LEARN > TUTORIAL > "Preparing Photo for DPCHALLENGE" by EddyG... it helped me figure out how to get my challenge photos as large as they should be. Good luck! (4)
This photo is way too small to see any details. Be sure and size it to 640 by (whatever) when uploading for these contests.
The lines don't seem to be leading your eyes anywhere. The actually seem to detract. This would be better if the photo was taken with the grain instead of against it, so the lines would lead to your focal subject (whatever that would be).
This is probably a better photo than what it will score for two reasons. One, it's very small, and two, the lines aren't very leading as much as they are the main subject.
Leading lines or curves generally have two purposes. One is to lead the viewer into the scene. The other is to lead you toward the main subject. It is most effective if they come in from the lower left because that is the natural direction humans visually scan a picture so easiest to pick up.
Your lines are a major element of the composition but most do not lead the viewer anywhere.
way too small a pic - give us the full 640 so we can see better. These lines do not take you anywhere as they all lead out of frame. Turn 60 to 90 degrees and shoot again so we follow the lines.
This has different lines, yet if I could see more detail, I could know more of what intrigues me about the patterns here. If you have the ability, you should make the image as large as the rules allow. If your camera doesn't have enough resolution, you might consider different subjects.
this is a tough one. Its small, which doesn't help me judge focus. the leading lines lead out of the picture rather than through or to something. Like the composition. Good luck in the challenge!
very cool. reminds me of polaroid transfer technique. the lines are just leading side to side, but overall i like the composition, though not sure how it would look blown up.
