Create impact by using real or inferred lines that lead the viewer's eye into and around the picture. Railway tracks, rivers, and fences are obvious choices, but there are also inferred lines from the subject to the context. The direction a line takes is also important, symbolizing the idea of passage in space. Lines have subtle effects. Horizontal lines are peaceful; diagonals are dynamic or tense; and curves are active and sensuous. Diagonal lines are more interesting. They tend to focus the eye into the image. They have more visual power. Things should always appear to move into the image rather than out of it. For example, it is more interesting to see the front of a car moving into a scene than the back of a car moving out.
