used to create and provide a contrast with more dynamic to parts of
an image.
Vertical: Vertical lines project mood of stability or/and peace.

the vertical subject further which emphasize the height of the
subject.
Head in line: Leading in lines photography are used to focus the
viewer’s eye through a photograph. They can be intentional or
unintentional.
