Welcome to Day 123 :) Today we are going to take a look at Leading Lines. Leading lines are lines within an image that leads the eye to another point in the image, or occasionally, out of the image. Anything with a definite line can be a leading line. Fences, bridges, even a shoreline can lead the eye. It's a very powerful way to draw the viewers eyes into the photograph or to a single focal point.
Here are a few examples to get us started. I look forward to seeing what y'all come up with.
my sister and myself at the Weeping wall up in Zion worth the hike, was walking down the hallway in the casino and shot a picture of the MGM out of the window, didn't notice my reflection until I downloaded the card, so I put it that I was the headliner at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas lol

A leading line taken to the extreme while it was being followed by this deer on the highway. Ducks on the water often leave wake lines as the swim on the water's surface. The wake lines are often a tell tale alert. Look for the ducks!
Osprey are dramatic birds and they often build their nests on tall structures. In this first photo an old nest sits beautifully atop a tall dead tree. the many horizontal lines of branches lead your eye to the vertical trunk and the nest on the top.
In the second photo the diagonal branch leads your eye into the photo and the Osprey at the branch's end.

Like that nest but that full moon tells me, like my pics, that you didn't shoot it this morning LOL.
Deer, they are rare here unless you're out at dawn...
