This might give you some ideas:
//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanishing_point

It usually used more in drawing (especially comics) than other art forms but it can be really cool in photography if its captured well.

Wikipedia to the rescue!

Does that explain it better?

Of the high-scoring pictures from the last Vanishing Point challenge I think this one explains it best:



Maybe it's just me, but I find the outstanding beauty of the blue ribbon winner is matched only by it's complete lack of suitability for the challenge. I just don't see a vanishing point:



I guess that's just the way it goes with technical challenges around here...

Exactly my thoughts when I looked at it first. Going by the comments may be it's the wow factor that's important. Only a couple of them actually pointed it out, but the rest got sucked into the beauty of the landscape. :)

This was my freestudy for April, what a pity I couldn't use it for this challenge!



It's title was 'Vanishing Point'.

Yeah, I say this calls for a reshoot... It's a beautiful spot for the challenge & the sky will ALWAYS be different...

That image came in 5th in the last Vanishing Point challenge with a score of 6.9873.

In the Symmetry challenge that just finished, this image came in 5th with a score of 7.0126.



Pretty close scoring for being nearly 3 years apart. :)

I just love the way that the clouds were also all pointing to the vanishing point of the picture. Wont catch that again. Also this shot is taken about one hour from home so dont think I will be able to go back too soon.
