Without your photographer's comments, I would not know what this was.
As for the relationship to the challenge, I am also not sure how you have used a perspective to enhance the subject. By your horizon line, your subject was shot almost straight on. The photo isn't tilted enough to add any dramatic angle in my opinion, so the tilted horizon comes off as just a mistake.
the colors are dull and lacking something to really make it punch. The sky is just flat and also does not compliment the subject well.
I think your focus is soft, but ok enough that we can still see some detail in the subject, for example the little plant growing on top of it to the left.
Lighting to me just seems flat. Looks like it was just that kind of a day outside.
Overall the image doesn't scream 'cool perspective' to me, the subject is interesting, but not enough to hold my attention long, and the colors need a boost. Maybe some saturation of the blues would work? Something to play around with anyway.

Interesting shot, but the crooked horizon line just doesn't work.

I'd like to see a straighter horizon line.

not the best example for perspective. vanishing point is a little to broad for my taste. whats the title say?

This is a very nice shot. I would have voted higher if the horizon was straight. The composition is nice and so are the colours. Nice to see the waves in the sea.

I see some perspective, but compared to other entries in this challenge, the overall subject matter doesn't "wow" me. My eyes follow the forground and simply end at the end of the structure.

I'd like to rotate this picture a couple of degrees to the right to level it. Also could use some contrast.

Hey there...this is suffering from a couple of things...first of all...the photo is tilted. Don't be afraid to modify your faming after a shot. Second is a lack of just...focus...there's no mean or rhyme to the composition. It's slightly off-centered, and there's something...looks like part of a dock coming off the bottom of your photo. Cropping that out and following the rules of 1/3..or even just 1/2 would be a huge improvement.

My favorite poem of all time. What happened near the bottom of the picture? There is a ridge that cuts the image. Anyway, image has strong lines in the foreground, which I like, but the colors are a bit flat. Would have liked more brightness and contrast. 7
