Well your photo did certainly well in the challenge. Congrats.
What this photo has going for it:
Amazing geometrics and an interesting mix at that. One window open, one closed, towels hanging from the rail, lines going up and down, they all make for a good photo. It is all nicely composed too, you used the frame wisely. I like the square crop.
Scoring better:
Just some ideas if you were looking for a better score, ignore this if you were not. Usually high key/bleached photos do not tend to do as well unless it is a portrait shot. You might try using a wider tonal range. Matra here, the less noise the better, (probably because of the crop)? Anyhow, if scores are not your concern just ignore this. I personally like the bleached effect here.
Things to consider in the future:
Some things I would like to see. A single person would add so much to this photo. Whether they are peaking out the window or standing on the balcony. Maybe that absence was your intent. Not sure if you heard the saying, odd numbers are more pleasing to the eye. Not sure how much of that is real, but perhaps something to consider in the future.
To Sum Up:
Personally, I think it is a wonderful photograph with a lot going for it. 5.8 is a terrific score and you should be happy. I gave some tips on what I think you could do for a better score, but take that with a grain of salt. The last part is more of a reflection what I like to see in a shot and is a matter of personal preference and in no way impacts this wonderful shot.
