Exercise - Implied Lines

In the picture to the left, there appear to be two dominant lines.  One is a continuation of the curved line in the dirt, up the yellow edge of the cape to the yellow marking on the bull.  There is also a clear line along the back of the bull, across the matador's shoulders and extending along the edge of the cape.

 There are several eye lines at work in this scene, although the two indicated are the strongest, leading the viewer from the edges of the scene into the main points of interest, around the food prearation.

The direction of the walker leads the viewer to the other figures by the steps and then up to the house.

Although the sheep on the left is also looking towards the camera, the sight lines of the two other sheep match up to create one strongly implied line.

The three lines of gaps and joins of the jetty direct the viewer to the small sail boat in the distance.  The slight curve of the lines towards the end adds some tension and movement to the shot.
