I understand why you received the score you did, and it is a bit of a stretch for the challenge, but sometimes I just really love a photo, and this is one of those (I was the 10).

I like the festive look and the message of hope. The streaks of light act as leading lines into the purpose of your composition.

I feel this photo would work much better if you had taken it a couple of seconds earlier, with the pedestrians framed in the gap before the central trunk. Otherwise, a pleasing image of this tropical looking garden.

Looks like a lovely place to spend an afternoon. Here the bright sun has not done you any favours - in particular, the burnt highlights just above centre are quite distracting.

What the hell is That?

My neighbor has a bird feeder that has been attracting a lot of wildlife this year and this guy seemed to return daily to hunt for food. I never knew that rodents were consumed by these birds and it was very unexpected. It also was seen eating mice as well. Ah, the circle of life!

They even kill and eat large rats (plenty of such video's on youtube)
