| I believe ths was under-rated by voters. The planks in the hull do a nice job of leading the eye to the Tucson. It's a good example of the technique and ought to have scored a bit higher in my opinion. I gave it a higher score anyway. |

| Well I knew this one was a risk; a little different for a leading lines entry. Another mid 5, ho-hum, but I like it and that is what counts for now. Thanks to all who commented and voted. |

| The lighting and eposure are great, the texture in the hull is almost tangible and the lines really lead into the frame. I like it a lot. |

| This is an unusual but very effective approach to leading lines. I like the fact that the leading lines have a figurative as well as a graphic relationship with the Tucson. 7 |

| Very well seen and shot. This is a textbook example, in my mind (is their any other?), of leading lines, and I think this should do well. Aside from the visible lines obviously shown in the image, there are more abstract lines of connection from one boat to the next, of which you were obviously aware...hey, it's in your title. I hope this does well, as it would give me more faith in the community here on the whole. It doesn't have a tweaked sky (seemingly), no heavy dodging/burning (apparently), and just gets us back to a more simple and pure type of photography (hopefully). Good luck. |

Leading lines or curves generally have two purposes. One is to lead the viewer into the scene. The other is to lead you toward the main subject. It is most effective if they come in from the lower left because that is the natural direction humans visually scan a picture so easiest to pick up.
This foreground boat adds great interest to the composition and effectively leads the viewer to the background boat in the background. Very creative approach to the challenge. |

| the texture on the boat is very cool. there was another photo in the challenge of a brick wall that leads to a house. i think if you had chosen an angle similiar to that and gotten macro close to the foreground boat and managed to keep the other one blurred in the background, you'd have something that better led the eye and better exposed that wonderful texture |
