 In this photograph, there are both diagonal and horizontal lines. The use of reflection to show of the lines is very effective because diagonal lines lead the viewer to look directly at the subject of the photograph.

 In this photograph, there are curved lines and converging lines. The curved lines in this photograph gives the image depth and perspective, and the converging lines give the photograph a point of interest.

In this photograph,there are diagonal and vertical lines. The simple vertical lines give the photograph the effect of an infinite line and the use of the rule of thirds makes the photograph well-balanced.
