First Impressions
Struggling to get the Challenge connection. I voted in this Challenge and I gave this image a 3.
Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
The image is fairly sharp for a 1/15 sec exposure. After reading your Photographer's Comments, I understand the opportunity you saw and therefore 'get' the concept, but I don't think it has been achieved, or at least with this little context, to be able to display it in an image for someone to grasp, who didn't witness the street scene itself. Especially for this Challenge, voters likely wanted to discern that the image was taken 'from above' and I don't think the elements and feel for this image give that impression.
Comments, Score & Placement Review
105/141 and a score of 4.88 I guess reflect what I have said above. I presume this score is likely because of the lack of connection that voters had, rather than the quality of the image.
Your commenters mostly all say the same thing: that they see an abstract here, which again, for this Challenge of 'From Above II', an abstract is a much more difficult image to have in this 'race'.
They are all helpful comments, albeit somewhat subtle, especially as to why they voted an average of 5.75.
Summary
I like the concept, but as I mentioned above, if you had shown more context, with possibly a few more reflections to show more of the lantern and perhaps also more of the puddle/context of the street, it may have allowed the image to connect with the voters better.
