Interesting viewpoint. Wish the front edge of the board and the front wheel were in focus.

the subject isn't so small.

For me, this does not exactly fit the definition of the challenge. Your main object takes up most of the viewing area of the picture, not "a very small" part of the viewing image.

Although this doesn't really meet the challenge description (small area), it does meet the classic definition of minimalism, so I'm not docking points for that. However, the white is harsh and glaring, causing the wheel to become indistinct on the right side and hurting the eyes, and the skateboard seems slightly out of focus.

Looks a little out of focus and a little over exposed, but I do like the composition.

The shot seems very out of focus. I like the white background though.

I have to admit that I was one of the people that had difficulty finding the letters in the photograph and that may have been the root cause of your problems.

You might have considered cropping out the windows on the right hand side, as well as the large cement bench at the forefront, since both are very distracting. Reducing the amount of wall shown on the left might have helped also.

I did really like the colour contrast and the sharpness of the photo.

Good luck to you in your future submissions.

I like the idea behind this composition, but it has the feel of a snapshot. If you could have changed the angle so that the windows were out of the picture it would help. I think the cropping is a bit tight.
