Since you weren't taking this picture as an exercise in leading lines, I bet you have learned a lot about them now. I think the lesson here is that we can photograph a subject based on various things, only one of which is leading lines. I bet you could retake that scene with different looks now! More tracks if thinking about leading lines. Maybe low perspective. I think at the time you were focusing on taking a caboose picture, not a leading lines picture, and got caught up in taking a "color" picture. |

I don't like the idea of reversing images to make the image read from left to right. Reversing a person's face makes them look like a different person. Reversing a mountain makes it look unnatural, and anyone who knows that mountain knows it looks wrong. Reversing the location of the water tower in relation to the tracks would make the scene look wrong and "off" to the person who knows the subject matter. |

Yes, a great classic "road" leading line! Makes me want to walk into the photo and take a hike. I bet you could take a lot of leading-road photos on such a hike! The trees on each side of the image seem to frame the picture and keep my eyes from wandering off. Just the right amount of brightness for me. The scenery is amazing. Can I come live with you? |

A real quick and easy way to remove that glare spot. It took me 5-10 seconds. Lasso the area in Photoshop, Edit-ContentAware Fill. Done! I can't believe another "shadow" leading line. You guys are so creative! This image is full of lines that keep my eye in the picture. How does Kerstin come up with these inventive creations? I am so unimaginative in comparison. I like that we can see the details of the door handle so well, too. |

Amazing, this is the first time I've seen shadows used as leading lines! Good eye! Nice choice for us to look at. Now we are seeing there's more than a path or a road that can be used as a leading line. |

My eye does go to the yellow caboose, for more than the one reason of the train tracks. The yellow and orange branches point me there, too. I think the water tower is a framing technique, and it works here to keep me within the image. And the bright yellow of the caboose draws my eye (although not technically "leading" my eye). So, nice composition! The caboose is slightly tilted, but I think straightening it out to reality would make the image too static. Your trip description makes me want to take that trip! |

I brightened the entire picture (except darkened sky and other buildings) and gave more life to the green of the grass. |

Your composition in your original photo presents lots of leading lines. The sidewalks pop out to me first, then the mowing lines. I can see how you wanted to get rid of the big white sky. I'm thinking that the building you're leading us to could be one of the brighter things in the picture. With Lightroom's Adjustment Brush, I brightened Union Station and un-brightened some white areas and came up with my own edited version trying to promote Union Station at the main point of taking the picture. What do you think? |

I think this crop is very effective and allows those mowing lines to do the leading. |

I didn't even see those little glares, and yes, I'd definitely remove them!!! |

You might want to try working on the blue sky by very slightly darkening just the blue color in the image. |

Oh, my goodness, this image is full of leading lines! Besides the branch and wings, there is a subtle white-clouds leading line effect. And I find the shape of the fish's tail leads my eye up from the bottom of the fish up to the osprey. I appreciate the sharpness of the photo, too. |
