This image works very well for me, it implies a sense of busyness and strength with the diagonal ropes moving in several directions holding many things in place. The diagonals converge on a single point, I think this balances the dynamics and tensions of the ropes in the image with a point of stability.
These two abstract images of a ploughed field all have a sense of movement / direction. The first image has a slight curve which adds to the feeling of moving over the hill. The second image has a strong sense of movement, the diagonals appear to me like arrow heads on a diagram. Also because the boundaries of the field are not resolved in the image, this gives a perception of space and a large area.
This image is an example of diagonals produced by perspective and in this case, the effect is different. There is still a sense of movement in the image but it is one of moving the eye through the frame creating depth in the image. In this image, I was trying to emphasise the texture of the log but on reflection it could also have been a diagonal pointing to an area of interest in the composition.
Key Learning Points
Diagonals in composition provide a sense of travel and movement more so than horisontal lines, they can also point to something in a composition because the eye will move with them - more so than horiziontals and verticals.
