When voting, I thought this very much looked like a metal tree of some kind but I wasn't sure about the fence part. It does form a nice abstract. I think it would be kinda cool to see it in color - shadows don't have to be gray. I think the fact it's a little fuzzy and ghosted in places may have affected the score, and I suspect part of that fuzziness is the slow shutter speed, though it does kinda create a neat effect - almost haunted looking.

3 - Could be good potential here. Overall (framing 'enhancement' aside), seems a bit 'snapshottish'. Further back and better focus on the tree(?)/frame and a ... different 'pose'/face on the 'model', make this better in my opinion.

Okay, here goes. I gave you a 7 (one of the few I did rate). And I was going to comment but I had to eat. I so love the surrealness of this image. And I love that, while its in black and white, it doesn't look like a black and white image. I don't know how to explain that but trust me.

Why it isn't scoring well? You have to ask? DPC craves the bright and shiny. This is neither - lose 2 points for that. DPC prefers simple - this isn't that - lose another point. DPC likes vibrant color - none here - there goes another point. DPC wants a vision that requires no interpretation and if it does require one that it doesn't detract from the feel good moment - minus one for missing that. Where are we at? 5? Add in the number of people that are scoring you down for does not meet challenge and your score should reside between 4.3 and 5.3. Am I close?

So, why did I give you a 7 and not anything higher? My scoring allows 2 for meet challenge, 4 for technicals, 4 for emotion. I gave you 4 for emotion, 1 for meeting challenge, 2 for technicals. The contrast isn't as high as I'd like it and the point of view and focus are slightly off and the cars look a little bit fake. But its a really cool image. :)

This does say desolation quite well. The tone used is effective.

Don't know what I'm looking at here, it could be kids toys in a puddle or full size cars in a pond? The post processing really does it no favours.

Cute shot, a bit over-exposed.
