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.

Nice lines that make the viewer wonder what is on the trail beyond the bridge.

You lines do a great job of pointing out to the viewer that this is a stark and very open lake.

Some images do not have to fit the traditional rules to work and be effective. In your case the lines themselves make for a wonderful abstract composition.

The lines effectively lead the viewer to the distant farmhouse but some voters may not feel that is the main subject.

Your have nice lines leading to the boater but not to the skyline that takes up most of the frame.

The line leads nicely to the white structure but its small size and the fact that it is overexposed will not be much of a visual payoff for most voters.

Your leading lines from the traditional direction effectively direct the viewer to the city.

This foreground boat adds great interest to the composition and effectively leads the viewer to the background boat in the background. Very creative approach to the challenge.

An curious twist on the concept of leading lines.
