Hello from the Critique Club.

For a DPC member that has entered as many challenges as you have, I'm sure you are not totally surprised by the score you received on this entry. From my perspective, there are two primary attributes of this image that worked against you score wise. First, as you can tell from the comments you received, this was not the best subject to choose for an Image without Subject challenge. The interaction between the water and the shoreline and the large rocks in the center of the image are both stronger focal points than the voters were looking for. Second, although the image was shot on a foggy overcast day, the fog is not strong enough to add a mood to the image but instead, gives the image a flat dull appearance. You probably would have been better off PP a bit more pop to the colors in this image.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

I like the image, but not the title.

This is a beautiful scene but with the boulders being in the middle area, the eye is dragged to them. However I'll give you the benefit of the doubt because of all the other "non subjects" in the shot.

Yes, fitting for the challenge, imho. The only thing I would suggest is perhaps a curves adjustment layer to knock out the haze and give the background trees more pop.
