Exercise: Implied Lines

2 photographs, eye line, extension of line

3 photo to analyse

 

 Here the implied lines would be the curved path lead by the tree shadows, it's the only sense of direction and therefore leads the eye from the center then up the  right side of the frame. I admit it's not necessarily very strong here.

In this one, the movement of the people gives a sense of direction through their body language.

All people getting out of the metro are going to the right of the frame. In this case, people had no reason to go to the other side as it lead nowhere. I can imagine this could help in predicting the composition in advance, knowing where people will naturally go towards to.

The implied lines of the lights combined with the mettalic cylinder support draws the attention to the woman at the door of the metro. In this image we can easily fill in the gaps between existing lines being covered.

Eye Line

In this image, the woman looking in the distance could have been used for an eye - line effect. Unfortunately, there wasn't any subject included in the frame. However, following her eye line makes you notice the two persons in the background.

Here, both subjects are used for their eye line. The dog is looking at the woman and vice-versa, both eye lines build up a strong relationship between the subject.
