These are all pictures I've taken in various places in the past few weeks. I think they provide good examples of the ways that lines in the scene can direct one's attention and eyesight to certain parts of a photograph. This way, the photographer can manufacture attention and give direction to a photograph using the naturally occurring objects within the scene.
Versailles, France. The path and the trees framing the path lead the eye towards the people walking at the farthest viewable point of the path.
Versailles, France. The curves in the ceiling, along with the statutes and hanging lights, lead the eye down the hallway to the farthest doorway.
Paris, France. The framing of this photograph and the way it was taken at an upward angle leads the eye towards the top of the Eiffel Tower, even though the actual top is not present in the photograph. The upward angle also makes the tower's height appear even more extreme.
Pompei, Italy. The pillars lead the eye to the left, focusing on the stone wall in the corner. the shadows of the pillars also focus the eye in.
