Welcome to the "Arc/Curved Line" Challenge
Before I begin, let me say up front, I am NOT an authority on this subject. A post last year got me thinking and I wanted to know more. The best way to learn, they say, is to try and teach something. Hoping some of the more experienced will correct and/or add to what I've found.
The purpose of this challenge: explore the use of arcs, or curves, in composing images. Curved lines can bring drama, an eye pleasing element, and rhythm to an image by leading the eye into/out of the photograph, to a point of interest, or act as a frame. Curves are rhythmic, graceful, dynamic and add energy to a composition. They exist in nature, landscapes still life, architecture, portraits. Check out this excellent article.

So let's start! Show me your arcs, curved lines, and S curves.
