Leading Lines, Texture, Pattern - #12

Your next assignment (after "macro") is Pattern, Texture, and Leading Lines.  This is assignment #12.  Please post 10 images with at least one image from all three of these compostional elements on your page.  For example, if you really love your texture pictures, post 8 of them, 1 pattern, and 1 texture for a total of 10 images.

Due March 4th.

Using Leading Lines helps your eye move through the photograph.  Viewers get bored when the subject matter is very easy to find and no eye movement takes place.  It can literally be a line that your eye follows.  When using the leading lines element of photography consider putting the subject at the end of the leading lines trail.  For example, in the photograph below my eye goes from the bottom on the photograph at that railing, follows the railing, and then goes to the cyclist, which is the main subject of the photo.  It is OK if you do not see it now.  The more you look at photographs the easier this will come, I promise!
