Diagonal Line

Diagonal line is a photography technique that uses diagonal lines, whether man made, nature made, or created by the framing of the photograph, to compose the photo. Diagonal line in photography is used to convey uniqueness and creativity. Many photographers opt for this option because it looks more artistic in photographs.

This photo by Heather Pickard is a great example of diagonal lines in a photograph. Although it doesn't contain physical lines, the way she has framed the photo makes it look like the turtle is struggling uphill. The contrast of the colors in the turtle and the colors of the rock and water makes for a really pretty image.
