I think this is beautiful. I have not been able to stick to the weekly constraints in this project. In some ways it is stimulating to think of applying them, but it can also stifle creativity.
I love this, Helen! I don’t think leading lines need to follow a particular path, so long as they lead your eyes to a point of focus in your composition.
Sure they can but this one goes up from the bottom too- at least the way I see it (from the lower left to the upper right- even though it's a reflection).
Leading lines are a technique not the main point of a shot... that explains why I don't care for challenges like this. They say (if I remember correctly) we read a photograph from left to right and bottom to top so that should be the direction of any lead lines. I'm not convinced! There are images that direct the eye to the important bit by other means., This is one of them... my eyes go straight to the light and immediately see the trees reflection. Let yourself go and (as you may have done here) you do it instinctively.
