It's no wonder I don't like entering challenges much anymore.

Don't forget ApostropheMan will need to be in attendance. ;-)

But Art should make it a controlled burn, as there are many remnants of ancient civilizations there.

Shallow; but befitting to your character.

I just want to ask a quick question. Will people think DNMC if there is not an exact point that the lines come to?

As this thread shows, some will but many wont.

The vanishing point is the appearance of a point on the horizon at which parallel lines converge together.
It can be implied and if you look at the last vanishing point challenge, many were. So long as the two parallel lines get closer & closer, with the appearance of vanishing, you'll be fine. If nothing else, have fun with it and like what you submit.

At 640 pixels, it's not an exact science and those that want to spend time scrutinizing a pixel or two to determine if it dnmc should leave this site in my opinion, no implying anyone in particular despite what has taken place in this thread - it's meant for everyone.

Oh, I think we know who you're talking about. ....FINE, I'll take my magnifying glass and vamoose. :(

Bahaaaahaaa. You'll all rue the day (is that right, "rue"?) that I start taking this place seriously. :P

Hey Ken - I wasn't implying you in any way ! Look at the fence - we're on the same side.

This is what I think- If you take a picture of something that has parallel lines (a road for instance), it's a 2 dimensional image, so it HAS to have the appearance of converging. Maybe some have a stronger, or quicker appearance of converging, depending on size and perspective, but they are converging, they have to be, it's like physics or something. :-) And they can't ever really converge, because they are parallel, right? So if one get's so technical, that one thinks they absolutely have to converge, now there's a conondrum, if they truly converge, they are not parallel, now are they, and if they aren't parallel, why then it's a dnmc, because isn't that's how vanishing point is defined? So therefore, either way, they all DNMC!!!
So we should end up with a tie of all entries, with an avg vote of 1.0
