Leading Lines

Leading lines are lines that attract the viewer and point them to the focal point. They would use them because it draws in their attention and they point on the main object in the image. Symmetry is when you can fold something in half and both sides are equally balanced and exactly the same. It would create unity in the piece, it wouldn't look as messy, and it would bring more focus to the main point.

The photographer used the lines on an escalator and the arching ceiling as leading lines. Yes it is symmetrical.

What did you do to shoot your photo?  

Angelina laid down and I bent down, centered it, and took the picture.

Is your composition symmetrically balanced?   What does this do to the composition?  

It mostly is. It makes it look more neat and not so distracting.

What did you use as your leading lines to draw the viewers attention to a focal point?  

The lines on the ground.

Who is your focal point?
