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.

Classic curve from the left directing attention to the plane.

Good thought from the classic direction. This leads in one direction but does not have a visual payoff at the end. Some voters might vote it lower because of that.

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.

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.
