My thoughts on the image: I think you were robbed on this one. This is definitely my favorite entry in this challenge.
My ideas for improvement: I think it would have easily taken first if it have been a little brighter, but I don't think that could happen without adding lighting to the location itself. I think you captured the very best of what was there. I think any post-processing up or down would have blown out highlights and darkened the shadows too much.
Where I would have/did score this entry: I did not vote in this one, but this would have been an 8 or 9 from me after looking through the entries. Strong image, and I appreciate you sharing it with us.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric
