A pretty cool photograph you have there. To the point that I find it very difficult to tell you what can be improved with it. The choice of using a polarizer was obviously a good one. The boxcar itself is captured in a cool way. The shadows on the side of the car only help to break up the monotony, which is all good.
I think that you met the challenge in a good way, and there is not much to be improved in the picture. I guess the only thing that stopped you from winning was that the subject is a little boring - Personally, I thought: "a boxcar. It starts with a B. So what" - there doesn't actually seem to be any motivation or message behind the image (apart from beginning with a B), which pulls the overall impression down.
Keep it up though - technically you are sound, and it is only a matter of time before you get another ribbon! |
