If this image were well-focused it would make it much stronger. Don't get too close for your lense. But nice colors overall.

Nice shot but not in focus anywhere and the contrast is too high. the hot spots wash out the detail. The entry seems too small.
Keep trying...

Could of been nice but the image as a whole is out of focus and the lighting is harsh.

The size of this image is disturbing. If you change the crop size then reduce image size you will find you can achieve a bigger image without losing quality. As it stand I wouldn't vote it higher then a <4> in any given challenge but in this challenge IMO it DNMC. Its also very OoF/blurry and the contrast is way out. Might I also suggest decreasing the contrast by -20 and then adjusting the brightness to fit. Good luck in this challenge.

Needs better focus. The picture could also be larger.
