S-curves for composition
Nov 30, 2014 07:57:32 #
Went out early this morning. I ended up shooting away from the sunrise because the beach had a really nice soft light to it. I started looking for lines and found that the s-curve of the shoreline made a nice compositional element. Black and white seemed the way to go here.

Nice shots Ebrunner. #2 has a nice s curve that draws my eye right to where the boardwalk has it's 90 degree corner. The lines of the beach/railing keep attention righ in the upper third of your photo. Nice!

Nice. Those curves add a lot to a composition. I notice them in roads.

Well done! The curves are very pleasing to the eye and make this pair of images compelling. Excellent!

Thank you. That is what struck me when I was seeing the image. Tele foreshortening helps here.

Nice, the curves certainly work.
Thank you. I run a photo club in my high school. Might have to use these as instructional tools. Appreciate you taking a look.

Both are excellent shots Erich. B&W suits the images which are very well composed.
