I am getting real conflicting comments about my shot for this challenge. What I can say about it without revealing its identity is that it has lines pointing at the focal point, but are not attached to it.

kind of like this >>>>>> * <<<<<<<<

Is this wrong??

I don't think its wrong. My line physically connects to the subject but as long as there is some sort of line to follow or lead to the subject you should be right on target. I have gotten conflicting comments too and as I said my line physically connects to the subject. It's a personal preference thing for the voter I think.

Does the person have to hunt for the lines. I found that I have to find the lines. And it shouldn't be that way. The lines should be very noticable. That is my opinion.

I though it would be a harder challenge to score and comment but lines that actually lead you stand out pretty obviously. Some lead you straight out of the picture before you have seen half of it, others lead to nowhere and some are in fact the main subject of the photograph (self-referring leading lines). And all of the above, I think meet the challenge. Some increase their value by actually leading you to a subject of interest, but frankly a compositional concept from the 16th century can bear now and then a little dust off.
