Nice shot before the olympics...

vanishing point would show another angle, looking parallel to the lines and divers, but great picture. Just not appropriate for the challenge.

I loved this shot. It spoke to me in quite a few ways. For one, I was a swimmer myself, and this shot brings me back to the ten years I spent swimming competitively. Talk about nostalgia!! Plus, I loved the colors and the feel - I just wish it had been a bit brighter to really show the beauty of the pool and lanelines, not to mention the splashes, but I suppose you can't really control the weather! :)

I don't know if everyone will pick up on the vanishing points that I see - lines on the bottom of the pool, and most importantly, the swimmers' bodies, but I found them! I gave you a 10. Nice job.

Wow -- great shot! Looks like you snapped it at just the right instant!

Hmm. A rather untraditional way to show vp - perpeddicular rather than parallel - but it works for me! Great colors and perfect timing. It is amazing the swimmers all have about the same repeating shape.

To get the "vanishing point" idea, you should have taken the photo from the end of the pool, rather than the side. It's a good shot, but wasted in this challenge.

This is a great picture, but the drama of the swimmers makes it hard to notice any vanishing point aspect.

Nicely done shot, but I'm not 100% posotive on it being relevant. Good anyway.

Comment by brunas:
awesome capture. the vanishing point however is not visible from this angle. 90 degree angle of view rotation to emphasize a parallel convergence of swimmers and each of the swimming lanes should have done it.

Very nice sports capture, but it really needs the lines running from the POV to the distance to fulfill the challenge properly.
