You want honest so here goes. #1 there is too much sky, it overwhelms the image, and I would have chosen a landscape orientation rather than a vertical one #2 I don't think b&w was the best way to go with this photo since it has so much sky I would like to see the blue of the sky and not so much grey. #3 the main subject is very far away and centered in the image, to make this shot more interesting follow the rule of thirds and have it over more to the right or left.

As far as DPC voters are concerned you have about 3 seconds to make an impression I think this one just doesn't stand out enough to make voters stop and pay attention. I didn't vote in this challenge but I probably would have given it a 5, so it looks like I would have been in with the majority of the votes you received.

Also what time of day was this taken, it looks like the middle of the day to me. When you take a landscape shot in the middle of the day you end up with a flat looking landscape. Landscape shots that are taken in the middle of the day are great for snapshots to put in your photo album but usually don't score very well in challenges. Time your photos for morning right after the sun rises or later in the evening at sunset.

This one is fun, I think in this situation it is the best use of the light. It's hard to get good people shots in such low light.

I really like the idea of this one his expression is great, but I'm not sure if it is the slow shutter or the processing but it seems really soft.

Love the colors in this one, I wish the people were acting more natural then it would be more of a street shot.
