Wow, I really like this, Peter. I didn't vote in this challenge, but would have given you very high marks. I find your PP most interesting here. Adds a mysterious aura to the photo. I'm surprised it didn't score over 6, actually. I would have expected this in the top 10 or 20, in fact. Absolutely beautiful work.
I like the photo, however the heavy contrast gives it a bit of a grainy look, which makes it difficult for me to make out the vanishing point. A very good, artistic idea, but maybe better for a different challenge.
