Hello from the Critique Club,
High contrast has to be one of the toughest challenges to enter at DPC since I joined a few months ago. What makes it so tough is that the definition of high contrast is a moving target; each person that votes has a different definition. For me, your image met the challenge strongly. The blue of the windows contrasts the white of the building and the light blue of the sky. Where is this image falls short is related to the description for the challenge "Use high contrast to create impact in your photograph." The technicalities of this image are very well done, lighting, post processing, focus; however, visually it has no impact. Forty percent of your votes were 5's. That, to me, signifies people looking for literally 2-3 seconds and saying, "this picture isn't bad (so I can't give 4 or less), but it doesn't do too much for me (so I can't give 6 or more); therefore 5". Your profile page shows that you have a good eye for composition and handle the technical aspects of photography very well. Keep shooting and good luck in future challenges.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.
