These are the ones I didn't submit.
Ok, here they are. Out of the box, in the box, just let me know what you think please.

| Just out of interest Titia, what do you think 'leading lines' is asking for? |

I think leading lines can cover a lot of ground. In my opinion it should be a line, or lines that lead the eye from some starting point (doesn't have to be visible)to another, not necesserally in perspective view.
I think we will see a lot of roads/railways/bridges etc.and that's ok too, but I hope photographers will look beyond that what's obvious, be creative.
I stumbled on one accidently, don't know if they'll like it or not, I really don't care that much as long as I like it.
As I was asked not to show photos before the challenge started, I won't give any examples in word too, but I have plenty.
Let's just wait till submission is closed to discuss this further, it's only fair I guess.

As with other concept challenges if the leading lines are not explicit (i.e. actual lines like railroad tracks) the image may not do so well.
A wide variety of ideas always makes voting more interesting especially with the large number of entries.

| Grrrrr.... I have 3 contenders right now and I just can't decide on which one to submit. Any chance I can get a "do over" if the one I submit doesn't do as well as I hope? ;) |

| 3 contenders??? Geesh, I'm having trouble coming up with one that I like. I have several that I don't like....I'm hoping that today will be when it all comes together. :-) |

Sure, save the idea for Leading Lines III. ;-) |

Huh? Since when? As long as the image doesn't give hints as to what your actual entry is then it's not a problem. People are always throwing ideas around...
Here are a few recent examples, and the list for other challenges would be plenty as well.

I think it's a cool shot, but like someone pointed out in another thread, this type of shot would be more appropriate for a "Lines" challenge rather than "Leading Lines". There's no apparent subject that the lines lead you to. Leading lines are supposed to draw (lead) your eye to the subject and help take you thru the image naturally. At least that's the way I understand it.

Well I finally made a decision, but not sure if it's a good one or not. This is my other outake and my original idea:
Grrrrr.... I hate making decisions. |

See glad2badad's comment on previous post. I believe that comment applies here as well. The line of the tape measure isn't really leading to anything.

If you start in the top right corner (the end of the measure) and work your way down, than it does. Guess it all depends on how you see it. :Shrug:

Unfortunately this was taken at Eilean Donan castle in Scotland just before the challenge opened. The bridge forms the leading lines that take you into the photo.
I know the sky is blown, but any other opinions?

Been dying to get up to Eilean Donan for a while
Our Scottish overcast skies can be a real pain sometimes.
Good to see a different angle of the castle and not the usual one that appears on postcards and shortbread tins.

You're right on that however most people from western culture read/look at things from left to right.
Also, the tape measure is the brightest thing in the image so the eye is drawn there first. Maybe if the end of the tape was the brightest part and the box itself was in the dark then this composition might work.

I think I saw someone post a description of "leading lines" on one of these threads a while back, and it said that your photo needs to show a line that leads your eye through the picture, and your subject can be anywhere along the line. And if I'm remembering correctly, it actually said that it is often at the start of the line. I think as far as technicality is concerned, that picture would have fit the challenge fine.

Here is my outtake. I really like this photo, but my submission is wholly unique.

Well, some of what I've read recently suggests that a good 'Leading Line' will take the viewer thru the entire image. This example does do that but a good point was brought up that many people will view it left to right and the line takes you away from the 'subject' and out of the photo. Not that that is terrible either. Some of the examples I've seen show the 'subject' 1/3 or 2/3's of the way down the 'line' and then the line continues the rest of the way thru. Hmmm. Can I straddle both sides of the fence on this one? ;^)
I think this challenge is going to produce some outstanding photos, as evidenced already in this thread with the 'castaways'.

Actually I think you will find that several other DPCers will produce something similar - its always the case. I've often though 'now no-one else will think of this' only to find several on Monday morning
