I think this is really a great photo.
My problem is with the title, and the sensitivity of this subject matter.
It sometimes pays to be safe in challenges, and not provoke the voters with titles, or subject matter.
Gee, this is really well focused, and technically a very sound image.

Hello from the Critique Club,

I think the comments you received during the challenge pretty much take care of the technical issues with your entry. One thing the voter’s at DPC are sticklers for is solid black backgrounds. Your lighting of the rope is excellent and the detail visible on the rope is also very good.

As for the subject and title chosen for your entry, obviously you touched a few raw nerves, as your histogram is heavy on the 1’s and 2’s. This image does not deserve a sub-five score based on its technical merits, so the subject had to play a large factor when all is said and done. The judging was rough for any shot that wasn’t extremely creative and even rougher when the subject wasn’t voter friendly. Keep shooting and I look forward to seeing more of your entries.

I think I would like it better without any texture in the background - maybe monkey with curves until the background is pure black.

I'd suggest using NI or something else to reduce the noise in the black background.

I think the title will take away from your final score...I may be wrong.
