Given the spirit of the challenge was to capture a shot of wildlife in its natural environment, I find it most difficult to believe that this was done with your entry. Needless to say my vote on this was very low given those circumstances. When a photo does not do its best in composition to depict actual challenge guidelines, my stadegy for voting immediately stops and it becomes a DNMC to me. I find it difficult to believe that any such animal as this was hunted down for any kind of a shoot over a graphic ribbon.

Good concept, like the idea of the title, you took this in the mid day the sun is really harsh on the whole picture, try to take photos in early morning or before susnet,

Per your forum post, I'd like to give you my view of what the comment by Falc refers to... the commentor may choose to correct me if I'm wrong when the comments become visible after the close of voting.
Your shot refers to the road as a "road to dreams," implying that the basketball court can be a place where dreams come true. That's truly an American attitude, more than anywhere else in the world most likely. that's probably a large component of what the commentor, who is from the UK, is talking about.
He also points to specific things, exposure, composition, etc. that don't appeal to him, and suggests avenues for improvement. Don't take these as negatives, but use them to learn and to take your photography to the next level.

This is going to sound very brutal, but I find this very bland and very 'American'. Doesn't really appeal to me in any way. Exposure is over cooked in the foreground, but the main problem is there is nothing to look at. Just imagine a group of young kids actually playing, or a single youngster walking along the track .... wouldn't that have more impact?
