If you regularly read my blog you will know that I am a fan of creating depth in many of my landscape images. I have written many times about how to do this and the tricks we employ. Once again I would like to make one simple point today. Search your foreground to find things that lead into your image. Find lines that go from front to back. Use the lines these elements makes to create depth.

          Many times we overlook the man-made lines. Have you thought of using the footpath you are walking on to the scene as part of your scene? That footpath can be a powerful lead in line. 

Would this image have been as impactful without the footpath? Would the brush in the foreground have been interesting by itself and would it have created depth that lead the viewer's eyes into the image? When you see lines, rejoice and shoot them, man-made or not.
