Hi there.
Interesting photo you have here. I realy like the light and the rainbow colors in the waterdrops.
What I was thinking when I saw tis photo was, where does the light come from to make this nice rainbow, the whole scene looks like a nightshot or at least in the evening, so I was searching for the lightsource.
Still didn't find it ;)
Ok on the photo in the challenge. I guess it didn't score any higher then it did is because it is not a "slam in the face" high contrast shot.
I also had problems myself with this challenge becasue most people don't even kno what contrast is.
So that is why I think the black and white once did better then the colored once...
Nonetheless, I like this picture.
Great capture and good luck on your next challenge.

I think the composition is too much at a side for this fall. It also makes the mist too apparent, but worse are the silhouettes of the weeds in the foreground.
