I like the balance between the pencil and lines -- there is enough "contrast" in direction (basically horizontal vs. vertical) to make it interesting, yet enough consistency to tie it together (both the pencil and the lines form a "v" shape).
I also think the bw works very well with this (you have good tones and contrast), and the focus/dof choices you have made help to make this a very interesting.
My initial impression was "???" but the more I look at it, you have some interesting "vanishing points." I don't know that any of them fit the "classical" definite of vanishing point, but if everything did, that wouldn't be a lot of fun, would it? The line on the left is the more "obvious" vanishing point. I think if you had made it extend up and out of the frame, it would have "fit" that definition more, but I'm not sure it would have helped the balance of the shot, much. Also, the pencil forms a v-shape which is kind of a vanishing point as well. But, the one that amuses me, is the point of the pencil that has 'vanished' from the end of the pencil. :)
A good shot, maybe a bit too subtle in the rushed voting of dpc, but very interesting and well done.
