Nice take on the topic and I like this image, too, Tom. There are lines leading my attention, in, out and all around in there! One leeetle non-photographic thing....if the guy is the "up" one, you should reverse this shot (flip horizontally), cuz the guy's supposed to lead with his left hand ":^D) Cheers, -mikey.

I like this shot and the lifted leg/shadow angle is just right. They held so perfectly still for this shot. Nice work. John

I thought the topic was "leading lines", not "leading dancer" or "pickup lines"! LOL! ~ Lonnit

The red combined with the strong shadows adds drama to the picture. -COAmature

Good composition Tom. Love the shadows. The red says this is hot stuff. Good idea for the topic. -tv

Very nice and lots of wooden lines to look at and like the shadows too. :)

The lifted leg works as the leading line for me, well done Tom.

Thanks shu, I like the red also, & yes, the guy is leading (it's hard to tell).
Thanks k2, I tried it WITH blue, but this version shows the shadow & contrast best.

Well that's the prettiest gamut warning I've seen for a while. Great shapes.. but no blue! I'd have used the "selective colors" tool and taken out 100% cyan and 80% yellow from the yellow colors only. Metod: Relative. It does cool down the background a little, but it "lifts" the couple into the room, kind of. Great idea for a picture, anyway. A slight twist on the topic perhaps, but he leads his "lines lady" with style :) And the shadows underscore lines and moves.

Yes, real "leading" lines in the shadows! (I believe the guy is "leading" in this one.) Love that red! shu
