Straight Lines

This amazing architectural study beautifully showcases the use of straight lines in the structure. The composition is spot-on and is artfully balanced and harmonious. The colour palette is also sublime. The tones and hues have all been handled with skill and sympathy for the subject. Good work!

Perfect capture and a great example of how fresh perspectives can reveal aspects of our world in new and wonderful ways. Drones are great tools for helping us see these new perspectives. Here it has been used extremely well to capture the lines of the field. I love how the birds add a flourish of chaos to the otherwise very organised scene.

There is a beautiful sense of quiet contemplation in this striking portrait. The horizontal lines add a nuanced layer of meaning. It's an image that makes the viewer think, which is good in my books! The grainy mono treatment adds to this. Good work.

I love this interpretation of the theme. Its unique and original approach reveals a keen eye. The composition is sublime and perfectly balanced; the straight-legged jeans and the stripy backdrop are exquisitely capped with the organic-shaped peaks of the distant mountain range. The mono treatment has been nicely handled too. All in all, this is a cracking, beautiful observed shot. Well done, indeed.

Wow! This image packs a mighty, vibrant, colourful and stripy punch. Great to see a different take on the Straight-line theme. The intense colour harmonies bouncing around this frame are simply stunning, while the element of storytelling that underpins the tableux is intriguing, fun and curious. Good work!

This beautiful photograph is an excellent study of light, line and shape. It just goes to prove that there are wonderful photo opportunities everywhere, including 'everyday' domestic spaces. All it requires is taking a mindful moment to look, see and appreciate. Great photograph.

Simplicity, symmetry and repetition play a hand in this bold and confident minimal landscape. At first glance, it feels like a monochromatic image, but there is a hint of colour, just evident in the lights; this adds a lovely nuance. The tree breaking up the lines is the icing on the cake. Good work!

Very clever. A great idea that has been well executed. It's an original and intriguing take on the theme, which is great to see. The image leaves the viewer with lots to think about and contemplate, which is always good. Excellent work!

Great shot. I love the way this keenly observed everyday, banal even, scene comes to life through the art of a carefully considered composition. It's the type of scene that's easy to walk past without noticing. But there are photo opportunities everywhere, as this photo proves!

With a nod to the great German photographer Andreas Gursky, this accomplished shot has a lot to like and applaud. Getting this kind of image right is not as easy as one might think. It relies on meticulous attention to detail, ensuring all elements are aligned. It's pitch-perfect in this image.

The simplicity of the composition is lovely. It might violate some of the 'conventional rules' of design, but for me, that is its strength. The black-and-white conversion has been sensitively handled; the quality is sublime, too, not bad for an old iPhone, and shows that being able to look, see, and notice can be more important than using fancy kit. Good work!

Wow, so much to look at; I love the way there are scenes within scenes and even scenes with on those scenes. There's no disputing this image is about straight lines and light - in abundance. This is a fantastic capture., that's been well-seen. Well done!

I love the idea of bending light, which is what happens when it passes through different mediums, such as air and water. Here the science of refraction has been cunningly and creatively used to distort the sight lines artfully and eloquently. Good work, keep it up!

The simplicity of this image is lovely. The subtle overhead cables disappearing in the mist are restrained but offer just enough to suggest a sense of mysterious narrative. The handling of the black and white tonality is sport on too. Great work!
