Hi ankursomani,
I don't think you composed this image very well at all seems to centered to me.Also there is way way to much sky here. The bird off in the background is a distraction as is your arm & hand. I also don't see where it met the challange ?.
DNMC...OK, after seeing complaints about "DNMC" alone I'll add more. I don't consider the tapering stalk to meet the "Vanishing Point" challenge. With the limited light all I see besides that is the sun and the horizon. Where is the challenge met?
