6 - Nice capture and lighting mix. Not sure on the color combinations. Variation in crop and composition may have given this a little extra.

I gave this a 7 which indicates more than a solid shot. 7-10 pictures, to me, are very good pictures. With that in mind, I'm not going to have too much to say because I like it.

The technicals: well done all around. Scores of 6+ don't have flaws with technicals very often.

The feel: The square crop works and I like the interesting perspective. Perhaps people reacted to that a bit in a negative way just because it's a little disorienting? I personally like selective desat. Not everybody does. I think you did well. If there is a problem with the technique, people usually keep the colors super saturated when they really want to desat them a bit.

The game: I'm not sure what to recommend to get this higher than the score you got. A border? I think a small, conservative border can actually help most shots.
