I did not vote or enter this challenge (Computer was down) but I think the other comments do tell the story to what is wrong with the image. It does not really draw the attention of viewers, because most won't look at an image for more than 2 seconds, hit a number then move on to the next one. It is light and dark, and a water reflection, but you also need to see what you were up against, which really guides many of the votes as well. If you voted on this one, see which ones you gave higher marks to, ask yourself why, then look at yours as just another image amongst the many. That is what I have been trying to do, but it can be frustrating to say the least.

Tighter crop, you've got an 2-tone abstract of presently unknown aesthetic appeal, dependent upon the crop and rotation. Wider crop, you have a scenic shot that could perhaps tell a story. The problem with the present piece, is that it is a "tweener" with some graphic, but little tonal challenge for viewer interpretation.

edit for spelling correction

If I may be honnest I think this picture just lacks an interesting subject.
You hit the challenge head on, it's a reflection without mirrors, but you also have to try and capture the intrest of the voters and try to please them with what you are showing them.
Make them want to come back and take another look at it, make them wanting to frame it and hang it in their house.
I'm not saying that it's a bad photo. Technicaly it's good, it's focussed it's sahrp, but that's about it. Try to please others is the tip I can give you.

Hope that helps.
