UGGGG... at least i'm upgraded from a 4.4!
So, is there a way to see what votes make up the average? what score was given during the voting?

brownsm I sure hope you have something in the special side-challenge, because my score is leading downhill all the way. that'll teach me to enter something i really, really like! Somebody must have just given me a 6 because, yippee, I'm breaking 5 right now.

Alice, sorry to hear that about your score. :( I know how it feels when a shot you like doesn't live up to scoring expectations. I do have an entry in this LL challenge.

Either next time Im not going to bother entering or Ill just draw a couple black lines on a big white piece of paper to avoid any confusion with the voters ;)
Think Im going to try just the free studies for a while as it seems the majority or the voters are taking things a bit too literally lately as far as how the pics relate to the challenge descriptions...

I suppose this is just about where I thought it would be. Had hoped for a bit higher, am ok with this score right now.

Yep. Too safe. It's just..."O.K." This is worse than getting 3s and 4s and taking DNMC and "what is it" comments. Won't be submitting anything this generic again. HoHum. Live and learn.

Peace-

I am normally not one that takes the challenge theme too strict. In fact, I am quite fond of creative interpretations. With this challenge however, I feel that many submissions use the technique of vanishing point rather than that of leading lines. And in a technical challenge, well the least one should get right is the technique, right?

Obviously, I do not know whether this applies to your pic in particular. If you have a creative interpretation of 'leading lines', you have nothing to fear from me.

1 comment after 85 votes, it seems that I'm in the same boat as everyone else.

I would counter this with my belief that all vanishing points are leading lines, but not the other way around. To me, leading lines are compositional elements that lead the viewer through the frame of the photograph, sometimes leading to a main subject, but other times not. Think of a picture of a winding road, with the yellow line helping the viewer take a journey through the image. no main subject (except for the lines themselves), but it certainly leads the viewer. I wouldn't consider this a vanishing point, at least not always. Vanishing points can certainly lead the viewer through the frame, and can sometimes lead to the main subject, but sometimes not. They just happen to be parallel lines that seem to converge at a point.

That's my interpretation of the challenge, and I will vote accordingly. So, for me, vanishing points are considered leading lines.

I would concur -- a vanishing point is a type of leading line. Also, leading lines do not always need to point to the main subject of interest in the photo. They can be used for other emotive effects as long as they play an important role in leading the viewer in a intentional direction.

I concur with this "leading line" theory as well. From all my research there are varied opinions.......and here is my latest opinion

I agree, someone just game me a very low score with the comment that I have a vanishing point not a leading line! even though the vanishing point leads to what I consiter to be the main subject of the image. All I can say is that this is a site for anal retentives to express themselves with comments and low scores.!
