You have asked 'what you could have done better'. This is my personal view. This photo is very good photo. I could not think of any flaw in it. Very good.
There is just a small problem, it does not motivate me (enough)
and probably this is the reason it did not score higher.

ps: My own photo was not good in this challenge. But I was not serious towards this challenge.

the shadows of the chain on the background distract for the power of the image. nice concept though.

Love the photo, but something about the font doesn't work quite right here IMO.

I think you theme would go better with someone who was more clearly breaking free. Very nice arrangement of visual elements.

I think the text on here is too big. You have a good picture but it just doesn't look right for some reason.

Nice shot. The ellipsis really reduces the impact of the sentence. What's wrong with a period?
