Second round. Added the tripod and got better results. Taken in my garden about 7pm today. Macro mode, which makes my camera very selective about what it decides to put in focus. I was very happy with this shot, showing the splashes from the recent watering.

This might benefit from either more saturation, or a convergence to b/w. though the tomatos are similar in tone to the leaves, so maybe b/w might noy be so flattering.Cropping off the blurrier tomatos at the bottom might help too.

I feel that this image is let down, to an extent, by the comparative softness of the tomatoes at the bottom of the frame.

This photo uses lines as a strong compositional element, but I'm not feeling that the lines are leading my eye, really. I suppose that there are lines leading to each tomato, though.

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.

An curious twist on the concept of leading lines.
