The person who voted ONE probably thought this was the panning challenge (the other exclusive ch. running).
This is a great and perfectly lit image!! One of the very few in the show that is able to tell a story.

I am afraid you are not going to draw the crowd nor steal the show with this one :-)

Very nicely done. Grain, duotone and softness work very well here.
I regret the senseless tendency of dpc voters to over-rate razor-sharpness, noislessness and eye-blinding saturation.
In the real world of photography you must make choices like the one you did, depending on the story you are trying to tell.
The same people who have voted 5- would have probably voted 7+ for this photo if the challenge was "grain". That means many voters will not see beyond the tip of their nose unless they are forced to.

You are getting better at controlling your exposures!!. This is well exposed, maybe 1/3 f stop low, but it could be corrected with curves an levels. Too bad there were not interesting clouds in the sky. With that lens you could try a wider composition at 18mm to get some ground. Maybe you did but there were some ditracting elements you did not want to show.
