 First big snowfall here in Pittsburgh. Was outdoor a few hours shooting and couldn't find anything to fit the Vanishing Point theme. Nearly home and waiting to cross the street, I looked up and saw the mess of wires that power the neighborhood. Wasn't what I set out to capture, and probably stretching the limits of the category, but I like it.

I agreed with Sid's critique. A fabulous image that didn't meet viewers expectations about the challenge theme.

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that contributes to the challenge

Well done for looking up, too few of us observe the potential above us. The dominant blacks intersected by the irregular whites of these snow covered wires is very striking and effective. In respect of the challenge brief the ‘vanishing point’ is not obvious in any traditional sort of way which probably accounts for a lower than deserved score. Personally, I think a square crop, excluding the bulb and the right where the looped wire starts would have given your shot a lot more impact. Have a good festive season, I look forward to more creative images from you in the coming year.

Very powerful. Sort of H.G.Wells. Love it
It's really worth a 10. Done
