Bottom of the Pack Analytical Comments
Every challenge I am going to leave comments on some of the photos that finished at the bottom of the pack. I will try and explain why I think the photo did not do well in the challenge, which will hopefully result in increased rankings in your future photos.

1) This photo does not immediately fit the challenge without an explaination. The photo should speak for itself and not rely on an explaination. It may fit the challenge if people think about it for long enough, but with 200 photos to vote on, most people will only look at your photo for a few seconds before deciding it doesnt meet the challenge and moving on.
2) Composition. It is very cluttered. Most voters prefer simply composed photos which draw attention to the focal point. This photo doesn't seem to have a focal point.
3) Post Processing. The photo has a n orange tint to it which isn't natural. A lot of voters like the photos to look as natural, and be as technically perfect, as possible. It looks like you used the wrong white balance, which is why a lot of people would have voted you down.
4) Size. You haven't used the full 640 pixels, so voters can't see as much detail in the photo as they would like.
You found an interesting thing to show us... but picture looks just like fact that it exist. You could work on more creative angle and show some interesting detail even if there wasnt enough space to show all of it.
