one of my top picks. All my favourite images scored low. It very definitely meets the challenge for me.

still think it's the best in the challenge and a travesty that it doesn't have a higher score

Didn't vote this challenge. But I have to say, I really do like this, and had I voted, you would have been in trouble, as that 6+ would have been higher still :)

You got a quite decent score for this image, but of course, it probably could have done much better. The idea was great but as 21.gif FromDaRock says, the execution isn't up to scratch. Having read your notes, I understand this was a candid moment and not staged, so it explains the lack of focus. For an image on DPC to do really well, it needs to be very sharp and I think this is what is missing here.

The lighting is quite good, but the left side of the frame is a bit blown out which is distracting attention away from the model.

Overall, well done image, but could have been better with a few minor adjustments

Just short of the coveted 6. I found this to meet the challenge well. The composition is a bit dull, it's a portrait of a building. The images that scored better had a bit more space to let the image breathe.

If you had waited until later in the day to take this picture, when the was just about to set, I think it would have scored a lot better. The lighting is harsh and very contrasty. I think you've slightly underexposed the frame (probably deliberately due to the bright sunshine), but a slight tweak to the highlights would have made the image stand out a bit more.

You did pretty well with this image, I personally gave it a 6 as it clearly met the challenge. Had the lighting been softer, it's probable I would have scored it a bit higher.
