Lens Artists Photo Challenge #359 – Tools of Photo Composition: Lines, Colors, and Patterns

John’s challenge is to find examples of photographs that feature compositional elements such as lines, patterns, or colors. I see these elements all around me in man made structures and in nature.

In the featured image the black walkway on this pedestrian bridge leads your eye to the figure dressed in red at the end of the walkway. The pattern of the green supports surrounding the walkway frame the walkway.

This wooden dock over the salt marsh is made with lines and interesting patterns that reflect in the water at high tide.

The Monarch Caterpillar is an example of colors and patterns in nature.

Vibrant colors and patterns in these hot air balloons.

Last week Tina’s challenge was Live and Learn. I learned some new things from your wonderful responses. Be sure to check back on Saturday, August 9 noon Eastern Time when Ann-Christine will be hosting the challenge.

The Middle of the Road

Whether it’s towing our fifth wheel to get to our next campground or taking a scenic drive after setting up camp, we spend a lot of time in our truck when we are wandering around the U.S. and Canada. While Henry drives, my time is often spent looking through the windshield of our truck at the lines in the middle of the road .
