Example Composition - Lines

             These three pictures are examples of elements of composition: lines. When taking a picture it is important to not have a boring background. And the elements of composition help with that. These lines draw attention to whatever you are taking a picture of & they also give the picture more meaning. This is why you should have one of the few elements of composition in your photo.
