Greetings from the Critique Club!
This image got a rueful smile from me, I once did a shot very like this, trying to convey the same feeling and only got puzzlement in return. So I have an idea as to what you're trying to convey here...the playground is empty, devoid of life. But I find my eye swimming around a bit looking for a sense of flow and story, which is usually very rich in your recent work, and just come up short. The structure in the bg looks like a parkade and is simply there, it doesn't add and only detracts from the playground.
If you had been able to isolate the bench in the lower left and the playground a little more, I think this could have been a very strong contender. Especially if you stuck with the processing you used, which works well at creating a sense of isolation. Instead it just comes across as a little ho-hum, but we're all entitled to that every so often...like the Dire Straits song goes, sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug.
But cheer up, Louie, I have no doubt at all that we'll see you on the front page yet again. It just won't be with this image! :-)
