I think your choice of color treatment is what did this in. It was clearly intended to be a creative treatment, and I saw some effort in this, but I think it just didn't come off well on most voters.

Greetings from the Critique Club

WooHoo, I LOVE it, Luci11e! Yeah, I know, we have Critique Club things to talk about, but dang, this is GOOD.

Yes, this is an art piece and yes, with one modification, I'd hang it on my wall - if I could find space. You solved many problems, including the reflective glass problem. (and for those who haven't tried it, photographing glass is a PITA except as done here.) You found complimentary colors that just shouted "look at me!" and they worked. Your overall composition is just fine.

Are you waiting for the But? Yeah, it's that vignette. IMO it's just a tad too big. Your strong composition and colors do not need that wimpy white space at the edges. Sure, the vignette is okay, but not-so-much of it, again in my opinion, of course.

So the scoring was dreadful, so what. You have a fine image. Appreciate it.

There is some black on black here but it isn't a big part of the image. More of an issue for me is the fogginess in the lower part of the image and the lack of contrast.
