Chain: Path to the Subject

<p>I was typing on that other thread about path to the subject. I thought it might be a good idea for a thread if we pooled some of our images in a chain. It might help a beginner with composition. </p>

<p>Idea is, post a photo of yours, and the next person answers some questions, and posts a photo of their own. Next person answers and posts; and, so on. </p>

<p>1. What is the general topic of the photo?<br>

2. What is the subject of the photo?<br>

3. What is the path to the subject?</p><div></div>

<p>Example:<br /> 1. The general topic of the photo is the guitar.<br /> 2. The subject of the photo is the pickup.<br /> 3. Our eye follows the shiny diagonals of the guitar strings down from the top edge of the photo to arrive at the subject. <br /> Photo for the next photographer:<br>

[Clue: is the subject of the photo the waterfall? Or, is it something else?]</p><div></div>

<p>Ok, maybe that one is too hard or simply no good. Perhaps a mod can remove that image and I will submit this one instead.<br>
