Composition - using lines

Setting up your shot and using the existing architectural elements can help draw the eye into the photo or highlight your subject. I like straight lines; single point and 2 point perspective. Any time I can compose a photo using lines I'll take that shot. Some come out fair, others excellent. Why Lines?

Straight lines are not normally found in nature - only man made structures have a series of straight lines disappearing into the distance. Using lines gives the human touch, allowing the viewer to see the human element in the architectural noise of daily life.
