Initial thoughts Beautiful colors, kind of meets the challenge, nice in an abstract sort of way.
Composition/ Content The colors are awesome but as I looked at it originally it appeared to be a sky shot turned sideways. In my mind that qualified more as an "equal sign" than an eleven. I'm afraid that your score indicates that most of the voters felt something similar. A beatiful shot but perhaps not a good scorer in this challenge.
Technical The shot appears a bit grainey but it was probably in relatively low light. It's hard to tell if you saturated it like this in post-processing or these are original colors but they are stunning. A little horizon in the forefront probably would make this a better sunset shot but would ruin your Challenge shot!
My Opinion On The Photo I originally scored this shot a four as did most of the voters. I think that it's very pretty but is a stretch to meet the challenge. Good job anyway, I generally appreciate your use of color and composition. I like the fact that you are not afraid to try something new even if it may not score well! Way to go and keep up the good work.
I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

This looks like an abstract painting. That could be construed as good or bad depending on context. In this case, I think it works both ways. It makes it unique and artsy, but also muddy and unclear. Good capture whichever way you take the abstract comment.
looks like a sideways sky shot. definately an 11 though. it seems a bit grainy also. otherwise, the colors are nice, nice bright colors. good luck in the challenge.
Very pretty abstract. I don't know what it is but I see an eleven. It doesn't matter to me that I can't identify this. Actually I like this kind of abstract. I do look forward to you revealing the identity.
Great colors. There is a bit of grain, and I suppose you'll take some heat for that. Doesn't bother me any.
Nice pic! Good luck!
Probably not going to do so well in this challenge, but if it means anything to you, I like it. Excellent colours and a fair bit of texture as well. Very interesting!
