Having just come home from a 3-day photographer's convention, I'll pass along one of the tips expressed by several of the speakers. They said:
Every image should have a foreground, a middle ground, and a background.
That said ... I would consider this image mostly background, with no fore nor middle. And that explains why the image doesn't really "stand out". As you look at it, there is nothing in the image to "draw you in", to make you "want" to look at it. There is no specific subject ... the entire image *is* the subject.
Now, from a documentary point of view, the image is great. And perhaps that lends it somewhat to the photojournalism side of things. But had this image been submitted to the challenge, I'm sure the voters would have been lackluster in their voting specifically because of that lack of "wow factor".
Hope this helps.

| With that title, it does work for me for a newspaper. Nothing really stands out about it, so not sure it would have scored well. I'd be torn between 5-6. |
