Leading Lights

Leading lines or curves generally have two purposes. One is to lead the viewer into the scene. The other is to lead you toward the main subject. It is most effective if they come in from the lower left because that is the natural direction humans visually scan a picture from so are easiest to pick up.

Leading lines used well to build this composition.

Nic leading lines begining at each corner. Makes for a good composition but it remains to be seen if the building directed to in the background makes a strong enough main subject to voters.

Roads make great leading lines. This directs attention into the scene as all good leading lines should.

The barbed wire appears to be the main subject itself and does not lead the viewer to any one place in the frame.

Attention is drawn to both the opening in the clouds which is into the scene AND the silhouetted horizon.

Focus is also an effective way to direct attention to the main subject. In this case the image is nice but the viewer may be confused where you want them to look. You might consider shooting this with focus set to infinity. That way the leading lines and focus directs the viewer to the same place.

Stairwells are very effective at directing attention. Good thought.
