Hi gacop

I've just finished this lesson and just got my results back. The answers I got from leading lines is that the line has to lead to something. But here on your 3rd pic; my eye is caught by the wood telegraph pole and led towards the sky. Best wait for a guru to answer, but I think the idea is there.And thats what they want, something that catches the eye and led towards something. With Rule of thirds,I don't think you can go wrong with that shot of the bug.
I'll keep looking at your thead to see what the gurus say and we'll learn together.
Goodluck

Rob

Rob is partially right, in that leading lines can lead to something in your images, like the subject or something of interest. BUT, it does have to. Leading lines can also lead you through the image. Take a pretty landscape with a windy road. The road might not lead to anything in particular, but takes your eye through the image. And since the landscape doesn't have a particular subject, but in it's entirety IS the subject, there might not be anything at the end of the line. So I feel #1 is a candidate for leading lines even though, sorry to say, might not be the most interesting photo.

#2 and 3 might be considered leading lines, but again doesn't lead you to or though something of high interest.

The last for ROT's, technically no. Nothing in the image is in the right position. Close yes. Image a tick tack toe overlay on your image. The subject(s) will hit intersecting lines.

I think you have a good start there. One thing to always remember: when it comes to the assignments or anytime really, choose/hand-in only the images you are ecstatic about. You might get a good grade with an image that proves you can compose well, but also be practicing the "photographers eye." Think about what makes for an interesting/beautiful/crazy/unforgettable/unique/one that takes you breath away/one of a kind shot. Good luck.

Thank ya'll ( yes I'm from the south ) for your imput. Joseph, the photo of the bug you said was close. My lens has the tick tack toe lines when I'm viewing the image and I called myself putting the bug where the lines came together.
