Cute concept. My eye keeps being drawn to the boat and fence in the distance which don't have anything to do with this image.

This a very interesting composition. I enjoy the placement of the women to the extreme right of the frame. Her hat makes a very pleasing curve. The colors are lovely--the pale blue of the hat and her warm brown skin contrasting with the white tank top. Sadly, this doesn't illustrate a vanishing point to me. There is a horizon line, yes, but I'm loking for parallel lines converging at a point, real or imaginary, in the distance, and I don't see that here.

To further simplify this composition, I would suggest cropping out the area of cliffs that can be seen at the left of the frame.

A nice idea and a pretty scene. The lighting is a bit bland. If you can ajdust your EV setting to bracket exposures, you should try a -EV setting to get a bit more contrast in the play of light and shadow.

I like this, although I would have cropped out the ceiling, either at some point just before the first light, or at the point where the ceiling and wall meet above the pillars.

I'm looking for parallel lines converging at a point somewhere in the distance. I don't see that in this photo. The image is a bit dark and lacking in contrast to make out much detail.
Where do those lines ACTUALLY converge...

This doesn't really work for me as illustrating a vanishing point. A vanishing point should leave me with an illusion of depth--three-dimensional space--and this doesn't do that.

You should have adjusted the tilted horizon line in post-processing (this is allowed in the Basic Editing rules). Also, I would have cropped a good chunk of the bottom of the image, perhaps at the point where we can no longer see the rock wall, since not much is going on after that.

This isn't really working to illustrate a vanishing point. The only lines that are actually converging, are actually converging physically in space. It should be an optical illusion, not a physical reality. The lines int he shutter aren't shown at a dramatic enough angle for them to appear to converge.

This is illustrating a horizon line but not a vanishing point. Yes, the sun is a vanishing point but there is nothing else in the photo to illustrate that concept. I'm looking for parallel lines converging at an invisible point in the distance. I don't see that here.

It took me awhile to see the vanishing point, or in this case points, in this photo. I'm not sure this is exactly right because a vanishing point is an optical illusion and in this case of fireworks, the the streams of sparks are actually going off in different directions from a starting point. Not really the same thing. The purpose of a vanishing point is to create a sense of three-dimensional space. In drawing, the artist has to figure out where the vanishing point is and draw the parallel lines converging to that point to re-create what the eye sees in real life. In photography, it is more of a matter of photographing the scene from a POV which shows the illusion of the parallels converging.
A view of fireworks in the sky doesn't really illustrate this concept very well.
