Exercise: Curves

Curves have a sense of movement and direction. They pull the eye and are useful in planned composition.
My first photograph is of a curved barrier, leading to an entrance.  Your eye is pulled towards the entrance in this gentle curve, the barrier is a modern structure in a very traditional setting.


Secondly, this was taken of a stand of Chocolate, so maybe it was that that was calling me in, rather than the curve.  But you eye is drawn in round the stand to look further, the same as if you were entering the shop to buy goods.


The next picture is a different view of the London Eye, again a gentle curve, but it shows movement, your eye follows the direction.



Lastly, my curve is a static curve, in a restaurant which isn't showing movement in anyway however, your eye does follow the curve, then it leads through the arch to view further on in the restaurant.
