These are lovely. The idea of using "leading lines" in photos to compel the eye to travel from one point to the next in the shot is something my partner, Patrick, focuses on. Also, the "rule of thirds," which essentially breaks up a photo into three main sections.

He learned about both in a photography workshop with Dan Heller many years ago.

It's interesting to see how people who take good photos often follow those rules unconsciously.

I love the way you used light and texture in these shots.

But the talent, I think, comes from how you see the world. In the workshop students were all sent to the same spot to take a shot of the same thing. What was most interesting about that exercise was that every photo was a bit different but the ones that stood out were able to capture a detail, a bit of light playing on the subject, or even a night shot nobody else thought to try.

The good ones came from people who looked at the subject in a different way. You have talent. These are great.
