I remember voting on this - 6. This surely is a "leading line" but in a different sense than it is usually thought of in photography! :) Very attractive colors and sky and I like the slant on the horizon. The clouds could use a little brightening IMO (might have been accomplished with slective colors - not sure). Very cool shot that I think might have received a better score in a different challenge.
Tough shot, it took me a second to figure out what was going on. The line from the kite is almost invisible but I don't really know that there's a whole lot that you could do about it given the distance (and that's not really the focus of the shot anyhoo). I like the sloping ground up to the person flying the kite; nice interesting angle. Wish I could have seen more of the kite; a little dark. But overall, good color and I like it. Gave it a 6.
